GENERATION OF MULTI-SYLLABLE NONSENSE WORDS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF KOREAN TEXT-TO SPEECH SYSTEM

한국어 문장음성합성 시스템의 평가를 위한 다음절 무의미단어의 생성 및 평가에 관한 연구

In this paper we propose a method to generate a multisyllable onsense wordest for the purpose of synthetic speech assessment and applies th ewordest to assess one commercial text-to-speech system. Some results about the experiment is suggested and it is verified that the generated nonsense wordset can be used to assess the intelligibility of the synthesizer in phoneme level or in phonemic environmental level. From the experimental results it is verified that such multi-syllable nonsense wordset can be useful for the assessment of synthesized speech.
