Measuring intelligibility in spontaneous speech using syllables perceived as understood

Peer attitudes towards adolescents with speech disorders due to cleft lip and palate

“…Because of the small sample size in this study, results cannot be generalized to the broader population and should therefore be interpreted with caution. Despite the use of spontaneous speech without content control, it does reflect the speech in everyday life [76,77]. Additionally, the audio and audiovisual sample contained background music and noise, what can also reduce speech intelligibility [69,[78][79][80].…”

Can We Use Speaker Embeddings On Spontaneous Speech Obtained From Medical Conversations To Predict Intelligibility?

“…Despite this, tasks that involve spontaneous speech still have not seen enough applications on the subject of automatic evaluations [17]. Even if some works touched on this aspect [18,19], there is still an interesting gap in the literature to be explored, which we will investigate during the course of this work. An automatic assessment using spontaneous speech in real clinical conditions greatly mimics the environment this class of systems would be deployed in, while also using a type of data that more closely represents the real communication ability of a given person: spontaneous speech segments.…”
