“…The Lombard effect is known to impact the performance of speech recognition systems unfavorably. Various researchers have analyzed Lombard speech produced in different types and levels of noise for speech intelligibility [ 10 , 11 , 12 ], audio and audio-visual speech recognition [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], speaker recognition [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], and emotional speech analysis [ 20 ]. Overall, an automatic speech recognition system (ASR) performance may be degraded when Lombard speech is present in the speech signal [ 15 , 16 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”
