Blizzard Challenge 2012

Blizzard Challenge 2012

This year its a little bit later, but its amazing that Blizzard Challenge 2012 evaluation is now online.

This year its going to be very interesting. The data to create the voices is taken from audiobooks, and one part of the test includes synthesis of paragraphs. That means that you can actually estimate how TTS built from a public data can perform.

For other volunteers:

The challenge was created in order to better understand and compare research techniques in building corpus-based speech synthesizers on the same data. The basic challenge is to take the released speech database, build a synthetic voice from the data and synthesize a prescribed set of test sentences. The sentences from each synthesizer will then be evaluated through listening tests.
