Intelligibility is the degree or level to which a listener understands a speaker’s given message. There are three methods for assessing intelligibility that includes rating scales, connected speech measures, and single word measures. A listener’s ratings may depend on their relationship with the speaker, a family member as opposed to a stranger or SLP. Accessibility must be differentiated as it includes the degree to which a speaker’s message is different from what is considered acceptable by the linguistic community. Additionally, comprehensibility is defined by whether a spoken message is accompanied by cues that can be understood (gestures or orthographic cues).
