Coherence and the speech intelligibility index.
The speech intelligibility index (SII) (ANSI S3.5-1997) provides a means for estimating speech intelligibility under conditions of additive stationary noise or bandwidth reduction. The SII concept for estimating intelligibility is extended in this paper to include broadband peak-clipping and center-clipping distortion, with the coherence between the input and output signals used to estimate the...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF FREQUENCY PASSBAND UPON THE INTELLIGIBILITY OF HELIUM-SPEECH IN NOISE By
The alteration in the pitch of speech produced by breathing helium mixtures suggests the possibility of increased intelligibility of such speech by selective frequency filtering. This study evaluated speech, spoken after breathing an 80 % — 20 % mixture which was combined with broadband noise and then passed through a selection of bandpass filters. Results indicate that while intelligibility di...
متن کاملAn improved speech transmission index for intelligibility prediction
The speech transmission index (STI) is a well known measure of intelligibility, most suited to the evaluation of speech intelligibility in rooms, with stimuli subjected to additive noise and reverberance. However, STI and its many variations do not effectively represent the intelligibility of stimuli containing non-linear distortions such as those resulting from processing by enhancement algori...
متن کاملDirect magnitude estimates of speech intelligibility in dysarthria: effects of a chosen standard.
Direct magnitude estimation (DME) has been used frequently as a perceptual scaling technique in studies of the speech intelligibility of persons with speech disorders. The technique is typically used with a standard, or reference stimulus, chosen as a good exemplar of "midrange" intelligibility. In several published studies, the standard has been chosen subjectively, usually on the basis of the...
متن کاملAutonomous measurement of speech intelligibility utilizing automatic speech recognition
Measures of speech intelligibility are an essential tool for diagnosing hearing impairment and for tuning hearing aid parameters. This study explores the potential of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for conducting autonomous listening tests. In these tests (e.g., in the Oldenburg sentence matrix test employed here) the responses of participants are usually logged by a (human) supervisor. The...
