System And Method For Dynamic Modification Of Speech Intelligibility Scoring
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining if a selected test score should be established based on current remediation parameters, and responsive thereto, establishing the test score;
responding to the test score, sensing the ambient sound in a region for a predetermined time interval;
analyzing the sensed ambient sound;
overlaying the ambient sound with a plurality of test audio signals having predetermined characteristics sensing the overlaid ambient sound; and
determining if speech intelligibility in the region has been degraded beyond an acceptable standard.

Abstract
A system and method to detect and measure remediated speech intelligibility by evaluating received test audio transmitted across and received in a space or region of interest. Remediation of the test audio may include altering the rate, pitch, amplitude and frequency bands energy during presentation of the speech signal.

15. A method for remediation comprising:
-
determining if remediation is feasible using a dynamically modifiable selected test score, and responsive thereto determining optimum remediation for a region;
determining if current and optimum remediation differ, and if so, carrying out at least a determined optimum amplitude remediation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
