Abstract
This paper presents a speech compression/expansion method that aims to improve the intelligibility in highly reverberant industrial premises where acoustic corrections are excluded. By placing a digital signal processor upstream of the sound system, it is possible, using frequency-based criteria, to detect in real time the phonemes requiring compression (typically the vowels) and those requiring expansion (for example the occlusive consonants). The assessment of subjective Intelligibility carried out on a workstation shows an improvement in the CVC scores in the range of 20%.
