[hts-users:04594] Blizzard Challenge 2018 - data now available


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:

Registration is now open, and the data are now available to registered participants.

Please send all communications to blizzard@xxxxxxxxxxx

This is the final message to general mailing lists. All future messages about this year's challenge will only be distributed to the blizzard-discuss list.
