Relationship Between Chinese Speech Intelligibility of Elderly and Speech Transmission Index
Archives of Acoustics, 2021 In this paper, the relationship between Chinese speech intelligibility (CSI) scores of the elderly aged 60–69 and over 70 years old, and speech transmission index (STI) were investigated through the auralization method under different reverberation time ...

The speech intelligibility and applicability of the speech transmission index in large spaces [PDF]
Applied Acoustics, 2020 Abstract This paper aims to explore the influence factors of speech intelligibility and the applicability of the speech transmission index (STI) in large spaces, where the sound energy is unevenly distributed and non-exponentially decays. The subjective speech intelligibility tests were conducted in Mandarin (China mainland) in two large spaces with ...

Disruption of writing by background speech: The role of speech transmission index
Applied Acoustics, 2014 AbstractSpeech transmission index (STI) is an objective measure of the acoustic properties of office environments and is used to specify norms for acceptable acoustic work conditions. Yet, the tasks used to evaluate the effects of varying STIs on work performance have often been focusing on memory (as memory of visually presented words) and reading ...

Effect of Power Amplifier Distortion on the Speech Transmission Index for Public Address Systems [PDF]
Archives of Acoustics, 2022 The effect of the power amplifier on speech intelligibility in public address systems is often marginalised – i.e. it is assumed that it does not introduce significant signal distortion.

Speech transmission index from running speech: A neural network approach [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003 Speech transmission index (STI) is an important objective parameter concerning speech intelligibility for sound transmission channels. It is normally measured with specific test signals to ensure high accuracy and good repeatability. Measurement with running speech was previously proposed, but accuracy is compromised and hence applications limited.
