Improving the intelligibility of dysarthric speech
Dysarthria is a speech motor disorder usually resulting in a substantive decrease in speech intelligibility by the general population. In this study, we have significantly improved the intelligibility of dysarthric vowels of one speaker from 48% to 54%, as evaluated by a vowel identification task using 64 CVC stimuli judged by 24 listeners. Improvement was obtained by transforming the vowels of...
متن کاملImproving Speech Intelligibility in Cochlear Implants using Acoustic Models
Cochlear implant (CI) is a prosthetic device that partially replaces the functions of the human ear via electrical stimulation. Cochlear implants are system and/or patient specific that mandates a simulation model prior to implantation. In the present work to improve the perceptual quality of the speech generated by a CI model, system specific parameters are analyzed by developing uniform bandw...
متن کاملImproving speech synthesis for high intelligibility under adverse conditions
We investigate methods of improving the intelligibility of synthetic speech under noisy or low-fidelity acoustic conditions. Techniques explored improve speech in a natural manner, such that training won’t be required for the user to understand the enhanced speech. While the improvements are natural in this respect, the changes aren’t limited to creating only speech that is achievable by a huma...
متن کاملDesigning modulation filters for improving speech intelligibility in reverberant environments
In this paper, we propose a new technique to design modulation filters to reduce degradation of speech intelligibility in reverberant environments. Using the inverse modulation transfer function, we design data-derived modulation filters for each speech frequency band. These filters preprocess speech signals between a microphone and a loudspeaker that radiates speech into a performance hall. Us...
متن کاملA Gain Bounded Speech - enhancement Algorithm for Improving Intelligibility ?
A higher intelligibility subspace speech-enhancement algorithm based on a theoretical upper bound on the gain function is proposed. The majority existing speech-enhancement algorithms cannot effectively improve enhanced speech intelligibility. One important reason is that they only use Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) to constrain speech distortion but ignore that speech distortion region diffe...
