Speech intelligibility after repair of cleft lip and palate
Background: Intelligibility refers to understandability of speech; and lack of it can negatively affect children’s overall communication effectiveness. Children with repaired cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) may experience poor speech intelligibility. This study aimed at evaluating speech intelligibility in children with repaired CL/P who had not been referred to sp...
متن کاملSubjective and Objective Evaluation of Speech Intelligibility Enhancement Under Constant Energy and Duration Constraints
Speakers appear to adopt strategies to improve speech intelligibility for interlocutors in adverse acoustic conditions. Generated speech, whether synthetic, recorded or live, may also benefit from context-sensitive modifications in challenging situations. The current study measured the effect on intelligibility of six spectral and temporal modifications operating under global constraints of con...
متن کاملCan Objective Measures Predict the Intelligibility of Modified HMM-Based Synthetic Speech in Noise?
Synthetic speech can be modified to improve intelligibility in noise. In order to perform modifications automatically, it would be useful to have an objective measure that could predict the intelligibility of modified synthetic speech for human listeners. We analysed the impact on intelligibility – and on how well objective measures predict it – when we separately modify speaking rate, fundamen...
متن کاملمدل میکروسکوپی دوگوشی مبتنی بر فیلتر بانک مدولاسیون برای پیش گویی قابلیت فهم گفتار در افراد دارای شنوایی عادی
In this study, a binaural microscopic model for the prediction of speech intelligibility based on the modulation filter bank is introduced. So far, the spectral criteria such as the STI and SII or other analytical methods have been used in the binaural models to determine the binaural intelligibility. In the proposed model, unlike all models of binaural intelligibility prediction, an automatic ...
متن کاملEvaluating speech intelligibility enhancement for HMM-based synthetic speech in noise
It is possible to increase the intelligibility of speech in noise by enhancing the clean speech signal. In this paper we demonstrate the effects of modifying the spectral envelope of synthetic speech according to the environmental noise. To achieve this, we modify Mel cepstral coefficients according to an intelligibility measure that accounts for glimpses of speech in noise: the Glimpse Proport...
