<br/>   abstract  = {Despite the availability of objective measures of audio quality, listening tests are
still indispensible for a thorough evaluation of new speech and audio signal processing
algorithms. Compared to objective measures, they offer great flexibility
and can be applied for a multitude of questions at the price of an increased demand
in time and effort. Many of the commercially available systems rely on specialized
hardware and are far from being platform independent.
The LIStening Test ENvironment (LisTEn) for the subjective assessment of speech
and audio signal processing algorithms is presented. This system allows to conveniently
set up different types of listening tests (e.g., absolute category rating (ACR),
comparison category rating (CCR), and degradation category rating (DCR)) in accordance
with the procedures that are, e.g., standardized by the ITU in [2, 3]. Other
types of listening tests that are readily available in LisTEn include ABX, rhyme
and multiple stimuli with hidden reference and anchor (MUSHRA) [4] tests.
The setup of an example listening test is presented to illustrate the ease of use of
the presented LIStening Test ENvironment. This presentation is accompanied by
general remarks on setting up a listening test and the motivation behind the choice
of various parameters.
A test version of LisTEn is available on www.ind.rwth-aachen.de/listen.},
