Two methods for assessment of speech quality in rooms were compared: the speech transmission
index (STI) and mean opinion scores (MOS). Subjective and objective measurements
were carried out in two rooms for different signal to noise ratio within a range from −15 dBA
to +15 dBA. The obtained results are shown as a curve describing a relation between a MOS,
STI and signal to noise ratio (S/N).
Keywords: speech quality, STI, room acoustic.
