Re: The calculation of Speech Intelligibility Index

[Christine Rankovic <rankovic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please note that even though the SII is an ANSI standard, there was no
validation study of the SII metric.  Some assumptions underlying the
SII--such as the idea that SII is dependent on speech materials (e.g.
nonsense syllables versus sentences)--go against 80 years of articulation
index literature, while offering no demonstrated advantage for predicting
speech intelligibility.
