Improving Speech Intelligibility in Noise Using Environment-Optimized Algorithms
While most speech enhancement algorithms improve speech quality, they may not improve speech intelligibility in noise. This paper focuses on the development of an algorithm that ca...

Reasons why Current Speech-Enhancement Algorithms do not Improve Speech Intelligibility and Suggested Solutions
—Existing speech enhancement algorithms can improve speech quality but not speech intelligibility, and the reasons for that are unclear. In the present paper, we present a theore...

A new binary mask based on noise constraints for improved speech intelligibility
It has been shown that large gains in speech intelligibility can be obtained by using the binary mask approach which retains the time-frequency (T-F) units of the mixture signal t...

Speech enhancement using a mixture-maximum model
We present a spectral domain, speech enhancement algorithm. The new algorithm is based on a mixture model for the short time spectrum of the clean speech signal, and on a maximum a...

Loudmouth: : modifying text-to-speech synthesis in noise
Current speech synthesis technology is difficult to understand in everyday noise situations. Although there is a significant body of work on how humans modify their speech in nois...
