Speech testing can rely on typed self-report of correctly heard key words

Evidence

Listeners were instructed to type the words they heard on a computer keyboard after each presentation. The correct transcript was then displayed on a monitor with the key words highlighted in capital letters. Listeners identified and self-reported their score (number of correct key words they perceived). For the first sentence of the list, listeners had the possibility to replay the stimuli, producing an increase in the broadband SNR of 3 dB, which was initially very low (‑25 dB). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3550
