A PHONETICALLY BALANCED MODIFIED RHYME TEST FOR EVALUATING CATALAN SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY
Francesc Álías, Manuel Pablo Triviño, Quatre Camins · 2007
This work introduces a phonetically balanced modi-fied rhyme test (MRT) for evaluating Catalan speech intelligibility. The proposal complies with the stan-dard MRT restrictions, besides yielding phonetic balanced word ensembles so as to avoid biasing the test to scarcely representative phonemes. Hence, it allows testing the intelligibility of any communica-tion system delivering Catalan speech by means of a unique phonetic meaningful comparison framework.
