Abstract

See full text

The intelligibility of speech signals is improved in the many situations where a voice signal is communicated or stored. Means and methods are disclosed for developing a scheme with high voice signal intelligibility without sacrificing the voice quality. The disclosed method comprises certain steps, including, but not limited to: Learning the noise on near-end side and enhancing the far-end voice as a function of the noise type and noise level on the near-end side. The disclosed method and apparatus are especially useful to increase the intelligibility of the communication device's loudspeaker output. The invention includes processing of an input speech signal to generate an enhanced intelligent signal. The FFT spectrum of the speech received from the far-end is modified in accordance with the LPC spectrum of the local background noise to generate an enhanced intelligent signal.
