[hts-users:03778] Blizzard Challenge - English listening test now live!

[Simon King <Simon.King@xxxxxxxx>]

I am pleased to announce that the English section of this year's Blizzard Challenge listening test is now live. Please help us out by taking part, and encouraging your colleagues, students, friends, contacts, etc. to take part too. It's your chance to hear a range of speech synthesisers, including some really good ones. Please circulate this message widely - for example, on mailing lists, forums and using social media - we need to reach as many people as possible in the coming month or so.


There are two starting URLs for the test

For Speech Experts (i.e., you consider yourself an expert in speech synthesis or another area of speech science or technology):
http://groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/blizzard/blizzard2013/english/register-es.html

For everyone else (this is the URL to circulate widely):

thanks,
Simon
