Speakers adjust their voice when talking in noise (known as Lombard speech), facilitating
speech comprehension. Recent neurobiological models of speech perception emphasize …

This study focuses on identifying effective features for controlling speech to increase speech
intelligibility under adverse conditions. Previous approaches either cancel noise throughout …

This paper presents a method for modifying speech to enhance its intelligibility in noise. The
features contributing to intelligibility are analyzed using the recently proposed single …

Algorithmic modifications to the durational structure of speech designed to avoid intervals of
intense masking lead to increases in intelligibility, but the basis for such gains is not clear …

In this paper, a novel approach is introduced for performing real-time speech modulation
enhancement to increase speech intelligibility in noise. The proposed modulation …

This study focuses on identifying effective features for controlling speech to increase speech
intelligibility under adverse conditions. Previous methods either reduce noise and …

The aim of this PhD thesis is to illustrate the development a computational model for speech
synthesis, which mimics the behaviour of human speaker when they adapt their production …

In recent years, computers have become an integral part of human life. They have evolved
from the first large machines to the current cell phones and even smart watches. The size of …

One of the biggest challenges still encounter with speech communication via a mobile
phone is that it is sometimes very difficult to understand what is said when listening in a …
