Abstract

This paper is focused on improving visual Czech speech synthesis. Our aim was the design of a highly natural and realistic talking head with a realistic 3D face model, improved co-articulation, and a realistic model of inner articulatory organs (teeth, the tongue and the palate). Besides very good articulation our aim was also expression of the mimic and emotions of the talking head. The intelligibility was verified by the listening test and the results of this test were analysed.
