On the disagreement between speech transmission index (STI) and speech intelligibility

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2000
The change tendency of speech transmission index (STI) was examined by calculation for several modeled sound fields. As a result, it has been revealed that STI contradicts the generally accepted concept of the importance of early energy for speech intelligibility.

A modified technique to predict speech privacy and distraction distances in open-plan offices

open access: yesARTEKS : Jurnal Teknik Arsitektur, 2023
Open-plan offices have become widely adopted in various industries as a workplace environment. However, this office layout type suffers from speech privacy, which can be represented by the acoustic parameter known as the Speech Transmission Index (STI ...

Chinese Word Identification and Sentence Intelligibility in Primary School Classrooms

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2016
The Chinese word identification and sentence intelligibility are evaluated by grades 3 and 5 students in the classrooms with different reverberation times (RTs) from three primary school under different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).

Effect of talker and speaking style on the Speech Transmission Index (L) [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003
The Speech Transmission Index (STI) is routinely applied for predicting the intelligibility of messages (sentences) in noise and reverberation. Despite clear evidence that the STI is capable of doing so accurately, recent results indicate that the STI sometimes underestimates the effect of reverberation on sentence intelligibility.

An assessment of acoustic properties of a large-capacity open-plan office room according to a 3-level rating scale – a case study

open access: yesMedycyna Pracy, 2021
Background In open-plan office rooms, one of the main reasons for the nuisance of work is the noise from employees’ conversations. In order to limit it, the permissible values of the parameters characterizing the acoustic properties in those rooms on a 2-

Acoustic Sensing Analytics Applied to Speech in Reverberation Conditions

open access: yesSensors, 2021
The paper aims to discuss a case study of sensing analytics and technology in acoustics when applied to reverberation conditions. Reverberation is one of the issues that makes speech in indoor spaces challenging to understand.

Non-Special Loudspeakers as Speech Test Sources in Natural Acoustics Speech Intelligibility Investigations

open access: yesAcoustics, 2023
Objective speech intelligibility estimations undertaken in natural acoustics speech communications (NAS) scenarios require the utilization of a speech source that approximates the acoustic characteristics of a human talker.
