Enhancing the Intelligibility of Speech in Speech Noise

2005
A brief introduction to a proposed project on integrating different source separation techniques to improve intelligibility resulting from speech separation from interfering speech.

Perceptually Enhanced Single Frequency Filtering for Dysarthric Speech Detection and Intelligibility Assessment

IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2019
This paper proposes a new speech feature representation that improves the intelligibility assessment of dysarthric speech. The formulation of the feature set is motivated from the human auditory perception and high time-frequency resolution property of ...

Speech Intelligibility in Children With Speech Disorders

Perspectives on Language Learning and Education, 2012
Intelligibility is a critical component of effective communication. For children with significant speech disorders, intelligibility often has detrimental impact on functional communication and social participation. In this article, I consider the concept of intelligibility using the World Health Organization’s International Classification of ...

Intelligibility in Postlaryngectomy Speech [PDF]

, 2019
Speech intelligibility (SI) has been a longstanding concern in relation to speech disorders including reductions that occur secondary to total laryngectomy and the use of alaryngeal voicing methods. Because of the loss of the larynx and the requirement that one acquires a new voicing source, SI will always be reduced in this population.

Everyday-Speech Intelligibility

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1965
We are happy to see J. D. Harris [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 37, 824–830 (1965)] introduce the phrase “everyday speech” into the speech-intelligibility controversy. The controversy in this case is whether the pure-tone sensitivity at 500, 1000, and 2000 cps or at 1000, 2000, and 3000 cps should be used to predict the intelligibility of “everyday speech.”

Speech intelligibility enhancement

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1988
In a communications system, consonant high frequency sounds are enhanced: the greater the high frequency content relative to the low, the more such high frequency content is boosted.

Speech intelligibility of temporally smeared speech

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1990
In the past, the temporal resolution of the auditory system has been investigated using gap detection and temporal modulation transfer functions for nonspeech stimuli. The present study investigated temporal resolution by examining the effect of temporal smearing of the speech envelope on speech intelligibility.

Intelligibility of Alternated Speech

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1973
The intelligibility of interaurally alternated speech was measured by two methods: shadowing and subjective rating. The first of two experiments used speech spoken at a normal rate; the second experiment used fast-rate speech. With normal-rate speech, shadowing scores and estimates of intelligibility by eight subjects were nearly 100% for eight ...

Speech intelligibility in rooms

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997
Speech is a method of communication between two or more minds. The actual forming and understanding of the message are in the physiological domain. The transmission of the speech by sound waves is in the physical domain. Only the latter can be controlled by means of acoustical engineering.
