Communication-System Evaluation from the Standpoint of Speaker Recognizability
William D. Voiers · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1965
Procedures have been developed by means of which multidimensional voice-rating data can be analyzed to evaluate the capacity of a communications system for preceptually useful information as to speaker identity. In addition to a gross measure of capacity for speaker-identity information, these procedures yield measures of speaker-identity information transmitted via selected perceptual dimensions or perceived acoustic traits as well via various physical dimensions of the speech signal Results for representative designs and operating modes are described.
