Intelligible Lip-to-Speech Synthesis with Speech Units

open access: yesINTERSPEECH 2023, 2023
In this paper, we propose a novel Lip-to-Speech synthesis (L2S) framework, for synthesizing intelligible speech from a silent lip movement video. Specifically, to complement the insufficient supervisory signal of the previous L2S model, we propose to use quantized self-supervised speech representations, named speech units, as an additional prediction ...

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.

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.

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

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-
