Clear speech: A strategem for improving radio communications and automatic speech recognition in noise
Abstract
The acoustic characteristics of conversational speech production and clear speech production were compared for three different talkers. Increases in fundamental frequency, word token duration, and voice level for the clear speech were obtained. These results are compared to the results of similar studies and implications for improved intelligibility of speech and automatic speech recognition are discussed.
