Intelligibility of average talkers in typical listening environments.
Intelligibility of conversationally produced speech for normal hearing listeners was studied for three male and three female talkers. Four typical listening environments were used. These simulated a quiet living room, a classroom, and social events in two settings with different reverberation characteristics. For each talker, overall intelligibility and intelligibility for vowels, consonant voi...
متن کاملMeasured Performance for Real-Time Localization of Cocktail-Party Talkers
Technology improvements, hardware, software and algorithmic, have made the use of a largeaperture microphone array cost effective. In this paper we present real, measured results for our wired, 128microphone array that surrounds a focal area (room) of about 7Mx5M. While it was necessary to evaluate the performance of the array offline using the array’s recording feature, we ensured that all the...
متن کاملPerceptual adaptation and intelligibility of multiple talkers for two types of degraded speech.
Talker intelligibility and perceptual adaptation under cochlear implant (CI)-simulation and speech in multi-talker babble were compared. The stimuli consisted of 100 sentences produced by 20 native English talkers. The sentences were processed to simulate listening with an eight-channel CI or were mixed with multi-talker babble. Stimuli were presented to 400 listeners in a sentence transcriptio...
متن کاملAnalysis, synthesis, and perception of voice quality variations among female and male talkers.
Voice quality variations include a set of voicing sound source modifications ranging from laryngealized to normal to breathy phonation. Analysis of reiterant imitations of two sentences by ten female and six male talkers has shown that the potential acoustic cues to this type of voice quality variation include: (1) increases to the relative amplitude of the fundamental frequency component as op...
متن کاملImprovements on Speech Recogniton for Fast Talkers
The accuracy of a speech recognition (SR) system depends on many factors, such as the presence of background noise, mismatches in microphone and language models, variations in speaker, accent and even speaking rates. In addition to fast speakers, even normal speakers will tend to speak faster when using a speech recognition system in order to get higher throughput. Unfortunately, state-of-the-a...
