The Extended Speech Transmission Index: Predicting speech intelligibility in fluctuating noise and reverberant rooms

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019
The Speech Transmission Index (STI) is used to predict speech intelligibility in noise and reverberant environments. However, measurements and predictions in fluctuating noises lead to inaccuracies. In the current paper, the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) is presented in order to deal with these shortcomings.

Crowd noise spectra for the calculation of the speech transmission index for public address systems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electronics and Telecommunications
Knowledge of interfering noise is necessary for the correct design of a public address system. Noise sound levels can be obtained, for example, from BS 5389-1.

Noise spectra for calculation the speech transmission index in public address systems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electronics and Telecommunications
To precision calculate the speech transmission index (STI), it is necessary to know the level and spectrum of the interfering noise. Simplified design methods used in public address systems are limited to obtaining an appropriate signal-to-noise ratio ...

A Novel Method for Intelligibility Assessment of Nonlinearly Processed Speech in Spaces Characterized by Long Reverberation Times

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Objective assessment of speech intelligibility is a complex task that requires taking into account a number of factors such as different perception of each speech sub-bands by the human hearing sense or different physical properties of each frequency ...

Effects of acaoustic adaptation of classrooms on the quality of verbal communication

open access: yesMedycyna Pracy, 2013
Background: Voice organ disorders among teachers are caused by excessive voice strain. One of the measures to reduce this strain is to decrease background noise when teaching.

Contribution of Low-Level Acoustic and Higher-Level Lexical-Semantic Cues to Speech Recognition in Noise and Reverberation

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2021
Masking noise and reverberation strongly influence speech intelligibility and decrease listening comfort. To optimize acoustics for ensuring a comfortable environment, it is crucial to understand the respective contribution of bottom-up signal-driven ...

A Redundant Residue Number System Coded Burst-by-Burst Adaptive Joint-Detection Based CDMA Speech Transceiver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A burst-by-burst (BbB) adaptive speech transceiver is proposed, which can drop its source coding rate and speech quality under transceiver control in order to invoke a more error resilient modem mode among less favorable channel conditions.
