Abstract :
While there exist methods in the literature for objectively evaluating the intelligibility of speech in the presence of stationary noise, little has been done regarding the objective evaluation of either the intelligibility or the quality of vocoded speech. We present a framework within which we have begun a step-by-step program to develop objective measures for vocoded speech quality that are consistent with results from subjective tests.
