Abstract
A system and method to detect and measure remediated speech intelligibility by evaluating received test audio transmitted across and received in a space or region of interest. Remediation of the test audio may include altering the rate, pitch, amplitude and frequency bands energy during presentation of the speech signal.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- determining if a selected test score should be established based on current remediation parameters, and responsive thereto, establishing the test score;
- responding to the test score, sensing the ambient sound in a region for a predetermined time interval;
- analyzing the sensed ambient sound:
- overlaying the ambient sound with a plurality of test audio signals having predetermined characteristics sensing the overlaid ambient sound;
- and
- determining if speech intelligibility in the region has been degraded beyond an acceptable standard.
3 more elements
A method for remediation comprising:
- determining if remediation is feasible using a dynamically modifiable selected test score, and responsive thereto determining optimum remediation for a region;
- determining if current and optimum remediation differ, and if so, carrying out at least a determined optimum amplitude remediation.
