Abstract

This paper presents part of the data collection efforts undergone within the projectCOMPANIONS whose aim is to develop a set of dialogue systems that will be ableto act as an artificial "companions"' for human users. One of these systems, being developed in Czech language, is designed to be a partner of elderly peoplewhich will be able to talk with them about the photographs that capture mostlytheir family memories. The paper describes in detail the collection of natural dialogues using the Wizard of Oz scenario and also the re-use of thecollected data for the creation of the expressive speech corpus that is plannedfor the development of the limited-domain Czech expressive TTS system.
