Goal of this Preference test

The goal is to evaluate the quality of the speech produce by an HMM-based synthesis system for French using a new glottal excitation model.

Instructions

1. For each line of the tab, listen carefully to file1 and file2 (but try to avoid to repeat the playing).

2. Then give a preference score about the timbre of the voice (please don't take the intonation into account), according to the following grades tab:

(:table border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 align=center:) (:cellnr align=center:)Much better (:cell align=center:) +3 (:cellnr align=center:) Better (:cell align=center:) +2 (:cellnr align=center:) Slightly better (:cell align=center:) +1 (:cellnr align=center:) About the same (:cell align=center:) 0 (:tableend:)

• to the left if you prefer file1
• to the right if you prefer file2.

3. When you answered all questions, verify all questions got an answer

4. Click on the button "Send the answers"
