Abstract
A method for enhancement of speech intelligibility in a device arranged for a near-end side a communication with a far-end device. The method involves calculating a measure of speech intelligibility at the near-end side based on a near-end audio input and a far-end audio input. Then, based on the calculated measure of speech intelligibility optimizing parameters of a predetermined speech enhancement algorithm, where a predetermined speech intelligibility target, and an additional target are taken into account to generate an optimized speech enhancement algorithm. Next, processing the far-end audio input according to the optimized speech enhancement algorithm, and generating a near-end audio output accordingly. The algorithm can adapt to changing noise conditions and be optimized for both speech intelligibility and another target. This can be used to minimize delay, electric power consumption and audio quality while satisfying the speech intelligibility target. The optimization can be based on a closed-form solution.
