A quick speaker identification accuracy estimation technique using some objective speech quality measures was proposed. In this paper the combined speech quality measure research to estimate the speaker identification accuracy without speaker identification system was continued. Obtained results indicated the possibility of test speech signals number reducing in order to accelerate speaker identification accuracy estimation while relatively reliability of the results was remained high. It was shown that the proposed method of indirect speaker identification accuracy estimation can be used in the task of parameters selection for noise reduction algorithms for speaker identification system.
