The Polish Sentence Test for Speech Intelligibility Evaluations

The main purpose of this study was to prepare Polish sentence tests for measuring speech intelligibility against an interfering noise. The tests were developed from meaningful sentences taken from everyday utterances, TV, literature etc. Two sets of sentence lists were created. The first set was optimized for the so-called binary scoring and was composed of 25 lists of 20 sentences each, while ...

Callsign Acquisition Test (CAT): speech intelligibility in noise.

OBJECTIVE The study was designed to assess the effects of noise on the intelligibility of speech elements used in the Callsign Acquisition Test (CAT), developed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. The CAT consists of 126 test items, or callsigns, each of which is made up of a two-syllable word selected from the 18-item military alphabet (Alpha-Zulu) followed by a one-syllable number (all numb...

Factors Influencing Sentence Intelligibility in Noise

The general goal of this thesis is to increase comparability, accuracy, and diagnostical benefit of sentence intelligibility tests within one language and to give suggestions for realizing comparable sentence intelligibility tests across languages. Most sentence intelligibility tests are either composed of meaningful (everyday) sentences or syntactically fixed, but semantically unpredictable se...

In-vehicle Noise and Enhanced Speech Intelligibility

In-Car speech recognition will be pervasive over the coming years. The goal of speech enhancement is to increase the quality and intelligibility of speech in a noisy environment. The focus of the present research is to evaluate the effect of speech enhancement on the intelligibility of spoken language in a moving vehicle. Here, an ECoS network is used as a model to evaluate the intelligibility....
