Abstract
The techniques described herein relate to systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods for improving speech understanding of users. An example method includes obtaining at least one speech comprehension metric indicating a degree to which the user comprehends audible speech. The method further includes obtaining speech information to be output to the user, the speech information representing audible speech communicated to the user. The method additionally includes determining modulated speech information using a cognitive speech model with the at least one speech comprehension metric and the speech information, and outputting the modulated speech information to the user.
Claims23
A method for improving speech understanding of a user:
- obtaining at least one speech comprehension metric indicating a degree to which the user comprehends audible speech;
- obtaining speech information to be output to the user, the speech information representing audible speech communicated to the user;
- determining modulated speech information using a cognitive speech model with the at least one speech comprehension metric and the speech information;
- and
- outputting the modulated speech information to the user.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising processor executable instructions that, when executed by at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to at least:
- obtain at least one speech comprehension metric indicating a degree to which a user comprehends audible speech;
- obtain speech information to be output to the user, the speech information representing audible speech communicated to the user;
- determine modulated speech information using a cognitive speech model with the at least one speech comprehension metric and the speech information;
- and
- cause output of the modulated speech information to the user.
A system for improving speech understanding of a user, comprising:
- at least one memory storing processor-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one hardware processor configured to execute the processor-executable instructions to:
- obtain at least one speech comprehension metric indicating a degree to which a user comprehends audible speech;
- obtain speech information to be output to the user, the speech information representing audible speech communicated to the user;
- determine modulated speech information using a cognitive speech model with the at least one speech comprehension metric and the speech information;
- and
- output the modulated speech information to the user.
