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, 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. Simon King on behalf of the organising committee |
