[hts-users:00670] Blizzard Challenge 2007 listening test
Hi all,
I'd like to announce the listening test of the Blizzard Challenge 2007.
# Blizzard Challenge is an open evaluation of speech synthesis systems using the common speech dataset.
If you're interested in, please read the following message and participate in the listening test.
Results will be available at the workshop held in Bonn (SSW6) this August.
Best regards,
Heiga Zen (Byung Ha Chun)
The Blizzard Challenge 2007 online registration pages are:

Three sections of the speech synthesis evaluation are similar in style to some sections from last year, but the first two sections are new.
