Abstract (en)

[origin: US7013266B1] In a method for determining speech quality using an objective measure, in order to enhance prediction reliability of the evaluated quality parameters, distortions of the mean spectral envelope are extensively corrected with a weighting function W<SUB>T</SUB>(f) before comparing spectral properties. Additionally, the fixed band limits for integration of spectral power density are suppressed and other band limits are searched for instead in a predetermined optimization area in which the resulting spectral intensity representations of the voice signal to be evaluated and the reference voice signal have maximum similarity. The solutions described can supplement known methods and can be incorporated into their structures.
