Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We are developing a method of speech modification to improve the intelligibility of speech in a noisy environment. The method reallocated the spectral energy by maintaining and emphasizing acoustical features important for speech perception. The method consists of three components: enhancement of the spectral contrast, flattening of the spectral tilt, and holding of the low-frequency region. The method was evaluated by speech intelligibility test. The results of this speech intelligibility test show that this method improves the speech intelligibility.
