Experimental Comparison between Speech Transmission Index (sti) and Mean Opinion Scores (mos) in Rooms
نویسنده
چکیده
Two methods for assessment of speech quality in rooms were compared: the speech transmission index (STI) and mean opinion scores (MOS). Subjective and objective measurements were carried out in two rooms for different signal to noise ratio within a range from-15 dBA to +15dBA. The obtained results are shown as a curve describing a relation between a MOS, STI and signal to noise ratio (S/N).

Relationship between Chinese speech intelligibility and speech transmission index under reproduced general room conditions
The subjective Chinese (Mandarin) articulation scores of a total of 50 sound conditions, namely at 12 receiver positions in four rooms, were obtained by expert listeners based on in-situ measured binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) and binaural technology for headphone reproduction from a phonetically balanced test. The relationship between Chinese speech articulation scores and the speech ...
متن کاملExperimental Comparison between Sti and Sii Metrics for the Objective Rating of Speech Intelligibility
The STI (speech transmission index) and SII (speech intelligibility index) are the two primary objective rating metrics for speech intelligibility. The differences between their calculation models and measured data are examined in this study, and the results show that there is no fundamental difference between them, except those caused due to the different calculation models. Therefore, both ST...
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 کاملAcoustic Study of an Auditorium by the Determination of Reverberation Time and Speech Transmission Index
The quality of the communication between teachers and students and ultimately, of classroom education itself, is closely linked to the acoustic quality of the auditorium. This acoustic quality can be characterized based on the reverberation time (RT), speech transmission index (STI) and the sound insulation. In this context, an acoustic study was conducted in an auditorium located in the Higher...
متن کاملBias and Statistical Significance in Evaluating Speech Synthesis with Mean Opinion Scores
Listening tests and Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) are the most commonly used techniques for the evaluation of speech synthesis quality and naturalness. These are invaluable in the assessment of subjective qualities of machine generated stimuli. However, there are a number of challenges in understanding the MOS scores that come out of listening tests. Primarily, we advocate for the use of non-parame...
