Intelligibility of English Mosaic Speech: Comparison between Native and Non-Native Speakers of English

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Mosaic speech is degraded speech that is segmented into time × frequency blocks. Earlier research with Japanese mosaic speech has shown that its intelligibility is almost perfect for mosaic block durations (MBD) up to 40 ms.

Mosque as a Bilingual Space – an Investigation on Speech Intelligibility in Mosque Acoustics Using Simulation Techniques

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2021
Mosques are Islamic places of worship where speech and music rituals are performed. Since two different languages are spoken there, mosques are described as bilingual spaces.

Speech Intelligibility of Cochlear-Implanted and Normal-Hearing Children [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015
Introduction: Speech intelligibility, the ability to be understood verbally by listeners, is the gold standard for assessing the effectiveness of cochlear implantation. Thus, the goal of this study was to compare the speech intelligibility between normal-

Exposure to nonnative-accented speech reduces listening effort and improves social judgments of the speaker

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Prior research has revealed a native-accent advantage, whereby nonnative-accented speech is more difficult to process than native-accented speech. Nonnative-accented speakers also experience more negative social judgments.

Speech intelligibility of virtual humans [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Audiology, 2018
The speech intelligibility benefit of visual speech cues during oral communication is well-established. Therefore, an ecologically valid approach of auditory assessment should include the processing of both auditory and visual speech cues. This study describes the development and evaluation of a virtual human speaker designed to present speech auditory-

Comparison between Predictive and Measurement Methods of Speech Intelligibility for Educational Rooms of Different Sizes with and without HVAC Systems

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems represent one of the main noise sources inside classrooms. This explain why HVAC systems require careful design, competent installation and balancing, and regular maintenance. Many factors influence

Single Word Intelligibility of Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease in Noise: Pre-Specified Secondary Outcome Variables from a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) Comparing Two Intensive Speech Treatments (LSVT LOUD vs. LSVT ARTIC)

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2021
The majority of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience both prosodic changes (reduced vocal volume, reduced pitch range) and articulatory changes (imprecise articulation) that often limit speech intelligibility and may contribute to significant ...

The impact of speech type on listening effort and intelligibility for native and non-native listeners

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Listeners are routinely exposed to many different types of speech, including artificially-enhanced and synthetic speech, styles which deviate to a greater or lesser extent from naturally-spoken exemplars.

The Intelligibility of Interrupted Speech [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1948
This paper concerns the effects of interrupting speech waves—turning them on and off intermittently or masking them with intermittent noise—upon their intelligibility. The effects were studied with various rates of interruption and with the speech left undisturbed various percentages of the time.
