Predicting automatic speech recognition performance over communication channels from instrumental speech quality and intelligibility scores

The performance of automatic speech recognition based on coded-decoded speech heavily depends on the quality of the transmitted signals, determined by channel impairments. This paper examines relationships between speech recognition performance and measurements of speech quality and intelligibility over transmission channels. Different to...

Subjective and objective measurement of synthesized speech intelligibility in modern telephone conditions

This paper investigates the impact of different telephone channels, represented by impairments as introduced by modern telecommunication networks (e.g. speech coding, bandwidth limitation, packet loss, etc.), on the intelligibility of synthesized speech. Both subjective and objective assessments are used. Two different speech intelligibility...
