Combining perceptually-motivated spectral shaping with loudness and duration modification for intelligibility enhancement of HMM-based synthetic speech in noise
This paper presents our entry to a speech-in-noise intelligibility enhancement evaluation: the Hurricane Challenge. The system consists of a Text-To-Speech voice manipulated through a combination of enhancement strategies, each of which is known to be individually successful: a perceptually-motivated spectral shaper based on the Glimpse Proportion measure, dynamic range compression, and adaptat...
متن کاملOptimised spectral weightings for noise-dependent speech intelligibility enhancement
Natural or synthetic speech is increasingly used in less-thanideal listening conditions. Maximising the likelihood of correct message reception in such situations often leads to a strategy of loud and repetitive renditions of output speech. An alternative approach is to modify the speech signal in ways which increase intelligibility in noise without increasing signal level or duration. The curr...
متن کاملNoisy Speech Intelligibility Enhancement
This paper addresses the study of the speech intelligibility enhancement. The speech model, noise sources, perceptual aspects of speech, and performance evaluation are reviewed. The intelligibility enhancement system based on spectral subtraction technique is investigated. Spectral density estimation device based on the algorithm of smoothed periodograms is analysed. Determination of the silenc...
متن کاملCombined Temporal and Spectral Processing Methods for Speech Enhancement
Speech signals from the uncontrolled environments may contain degradation components along with the required speech components. The degradation components include background noise, reverberation and speech from other speakers. The degraded speech gives poor performance in automatic speech processing tasks like speech recognition and speaker recognition and is also uncomfortable for human listen...
متن کاملRephrasing-based speech intelligibility enhancement
Existing algorithms for improving speech intelligibility in a noisy environment generally focus on modifying the acoustic features of live, recorded or synthesized speech while preserving the phonetic composition (the message). In this paper, we present an algorithm for text-to-speech systems that operates at a higher level of abstraction, the message-level. We use a paraphrasing system to adju...
