In order to better understand and compare research techniques in
building corpus-based speech synthesisers on the same data, the annual
Blizzard Challenges 2005-2017 were held. We are now pleased to call for
participation in the thirteenth challenge: Blizzard Challenge 2018. The challenge is to take the
released speech data, build a synthetic voice, and synthesise a
prescribed set of test sentences. The output from each synthesiser is
then evaluated through extensive listening tests. Please find the full call and further details here: https://synsig.org/index.php/Blizzard_Challenge_2018 Registration is now open. Data release: 1st February 2018 Please send all communications to blizzard@xxxxxxxxxxx Simon King on behalf of the organising committee |
