Intelligibility of temporally interrupted speech [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1971
The variations in intelligibility of a temporally interrupted connected discourse passage that result from changes in both switching conditions and message rate were studied. Six normal-hearing listeners estimated the intelligibility of ten, 15-sec speech samples presented monaurally at 36 interruption conditions (12 interruption rates × 3 speech-time ...

Generating Intelligible Audio Speech From Visual Speech [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, 2017
This paper is concerned with generating intelligible audio speech from a video of a person talking. Regression and classification methods are proposed first to estimate static spectral envelope features from active appearance model visual features. Two further methods are then developed to incorporate temporal information into the prediction: A feature-
