Abstract

A method includes obtaining first audio data corresponding to speech occurring within a communication area. The first audio data is obtained from one or more interior locations inside the communication area. The method includes obtaining second audio data corresponding to the speech. The second audio data is obtained from one or more exterior locations outside of the communication area. The method includes calculating a first intelligibility based on the first audio data and calculating a second intelligibility based on the second audio data. The method includes comparing the first intelligibility to the second intelligibility, and determining, based on the comparing, that the second intelligibility exceeds a threshold. The method includes generating a set of countermeasures in response to the determining. The set of countermeasures includes at least one modification to a parameter of the speech. The method includes providing at least one countermeasure of the set of countermeasures.
