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).

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 ...

Band-pass filtering of the time sequences of spectral parameters for robust wireless speech recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper we address the problem of automatic speech recognition when wireless speech communication systems are involved. In this context, three main sources of distortion should be considered: acoustic environment, speech coding and transmission ...

Using a blind EC mechanism for modelling the interaction between binaural and temporal speech processing

open access: yesActa Acustica, 2022
We reanalyzed a study that investigated binaural and temporal integration of speech reflections with different amplitudes, delays, and interaural phase differences.

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.

Comparison of Two Types of Combined Measures, STI and U50, for Predicting Speech Intelligibility in Classrooms

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2017
The present study reports on the speech intelligibility as measured by speech transmission index (STI) and useful-to-detrimental sound ratios ($U_{50}$) in university classrooms.
