Some Influences of Delayed Side-tone Upon Intelligibility
Author: Chester J. AtkinsonPublisher:

Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
Groups of listeners heard intelligibility tests in noise and in quiet. The speakers read with delays of .02 to .09 second introduced into their side-tone. The listener heard either the original saying or the original plus the delayed saying of speech material. Speech was received less accurately in every condition except when the speakers read with a .05, .08 or .09 second delay in their sidetone. Conclusions: (1) Listeners hear words more accurately if words are received only as an original message; superimposing an original and a delayed rendition of a word renders the word less intelligible under the delay times studies; (2) The delay of .05 second in the side-tone of the speaker appeared to affect the reception of his speech benificially; the intelligibility scores for this condition were significantly higher than at other delay times; (3) An intelligibility increment similar to but less than that observed for the .05 second delay was present for the .08 and .09 second delay of side-tone; (4) The effects of the delayed side-tone upon the intelligibility of a speaker became evident in a period of less than two minutes.

Articulation and Intelligibility

Book Description
This work extended the Bell Labs' speech articulation studies with ideas from Shannon's Information theory. Both Miller and Fletcher showed that speech, as a code, is incredibly robust to mangling distortions of filtering and noise. Regrettably much of this early work was forgotten. While the key science of information theory blossomed, other than the work of George Miller, it was rarely applied to aural speech research. The robustness of speech, which is the most amazing thing about the speech code, has rarely been studied. It is my belief (i.e., assumption) that we can analyze speech intelligibility with the scientific method. The quantitative analysis of speech intelligibility requires both science and art. The scientific component requires an error analysis of spoken communication, which depends critically on the use of statistics, information theory, and psychophysical methods.

A Further Investigation of the Relationships Between Voice Variables and Speech Intelligibility in High Level Noise

Book Description
A study was undertaken to determine the relationships between talker intelligibility in noise and several voice variable measures derived from intensity, duration and pitch analyses of several speech samples. In addition, the best combination of the voice variables for predicting speech intelligibility in noise was determined. A talker intelligibility score as well as measures on 14 speech variables were determined from an analysis of speech samples obtained from 88 subjects. Product-moment intercorrelations among all the variables were computed. All the relationships between talker intelligibility in noise and the voice variables investigated were found to be linear. Mean syllable intensity and mean syllable duration were found to make the highest contribution to talker intelligibility scores. When combined with other speech variables, intensity and duration were most highly correlated with pitch variability. A multiple correlation coefficient of 0.88 was found for the relationship between talker intelligibility in noise and mean syllable intensity, mean syllable duration and pitch variability. (Author).
