Abstract
In this chapter, two different attempts at estimating the DRT scores using objective measures are described. Since subjective intelligibility is a time-consuming and laborious task, if estimation of intelligibility without using human listeners is possible, at least at some degree of accuracy, the cost reduction should be significant.
