Correlational Analysis of Speech Intelligibility Tests and Metrics for Speech Transmission

Speech is a form of language (communication code) that uses vocally produced sounds to convey thoughts, meanings, and feelings. To communicate by speech, speech sounds must be both produced and perceived. Speech production refers to the process by which predetermined vocalized sounds are produced by the talker and organized in sequences forming communication signals. Speech perception is the process by which the listener is able to hear and interpret (understand) the message encoded in the speech signals.
