Abstract :
This paper describes a system that has been developed for automatically measuring the enhancement in the peak/rms ratio that a given audio processor provides, and gives some preliminary results on the performance of three commercial audio processors and two rather simple processors. An important outcome of the results is the establishment of an engineering goal for an improved digital signal processing (DSP) speech enhancement algorithm.
