Abstract

The comparison of naturalness of various prosody models for synthetic speech is presented in this paper. Several listening tests of four methods for generating F0 are described together with their results and conclusions. The main goal is to compare the newly created data-driven prosody model with the rule-based model used in TTS system ARTIC and with the intonation of real human speakers.
