    ALCTS—An Assistive Learning and Communicative Tool for Speech and Hearing Impaired Students

    Shabana Ziyad Puthu Vedu1,*, Wafaa A. Ghonaim2, Naglaa M. Mostafa3, Pradeep Kumar Singh4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.83, No.2, pp. 2599-2617, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.062695 - 16 April 2025

    Abstract Hearing and Speech impairment can be congenital or acquired. Hearing and speech-impaired students often hesitate to pursue higher education in reputable institutions due to their challenges. However, the development of automated assistive learning tools within the educational field has empowered disabled students to pursue higher education in any field of study. Assistive learning devices enable students to access institutional resources and facilities fully. The proposed assistive learning and communication tool allows hearing and speech-impaired students to interact productively with their teachers and classmates. This tool converts the audio signals into sign language videos for the… More >

    Speech Intelligibility Enhancement Algorithm Based on Multi-Resolution Power-Normalized Cepstral Coefficients (MRPNCC) for Digital Hearing Aids

    Xia Wang1, Xing Deng2,3, Hongming Shen1,*, Guodong Zhang1, Shibing Zhang1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.126, No.2, pp. 693-710, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.013186 - 21 January 2021

    Abstract Speech intelligibility enhancement in noisy environments is still one of the major challenges for hearing impaired in everyday life. Recently, Machine-learning based approaches to speech enhancement have shown great promise for improving speech intelligibility. Two key issues of these approaches are acoustic features extracted from noisy signals and classifiers used for supervised learning. In this paper, features are focused. Multi-resolution power-normalized cepstral coefficients (MRPNCC) are proposed as a new feature to enhance the speech intelligibility for hearing impaired. The new feature is constructed by combining four cepstrum at different time–frequency (T–F) resolutions in order to… More >
