This is reflected on various levels, such as grouping, wording and accenting. Realisation strategies employed by German speakers are used to model the prosody of telephone number production. In a listening preference test using synthetic speech two strategies used by commercial inquiry systems proved to be less acceptable than the versions based on the proposed models. These models are proposed for use in speech-synthesis-based telephone number inquiry services.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Baumann:2001:PGT.pdf} } @InProceedings{Schröder:2001, AUTHOR = {Schröder, Marc}, TITLE = {Emotional Speech Synthesis - A Review}, YEAR = {2001}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology (EUROSPEECH'01)}, VOLUME = {1}, PAGES = {561-564}, EDITOR = {Dalsgaard, Paul and Lindberg, Borge and Benner, Henrik}, ADDRESS = {Aalborg}, PUBLISHER = {Kommunik Grafiske Losninger A/S}, URL = {http://www.dfki.de/~schroed/articles/schroeder2001.pdf}, ABSTRACT = {Attempts to add emotion effects to synthesised speech have existed for more than a decade now. Several prototypes and fully operational systems have been built based on different synthesis techniques, and quite a number of smaller studies have been conducted. This paper aims to give an overview of what has been done in this field, pointing out the inherent properties of the various synthesis techniques used, summarising the prosody rules employed, and taking a look at the evaluation paradigms. Finally, an attempt is made to discuss interesting directions for future development.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Schroder:2001:ESS.pdf} } @InProceedings{Schröder_et_al:2001, AUTHOR = {Schröder, Marc and Cowie, Roddy and Douglas-Cowie, Ellen and Westerdijk, Machiel and Gielen, Stan}, TITLE = {Acoustic Correlates of Emotion Dimensions in View of Speech Synthesis}, YEAR = {2001}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology (EUROSPEECH'01)}, VOLUME = {1}, PAGES = {87--90}, EDITOR = {Dalsgaard, Paul and Lindberg, Borge and Benner, Henrik}, ADDRESS = {Aalborg}, PUBLISHER = {Kommunik Grafiske Losninger A/S}, URL = {http://www.dfki.de/~schroed/articles/schroeder_etal2001.pdf}, ABSTRACT = {In a database of emotional speech, dimensional descriptions of emotional states have been correlated with acoustic variables. Many stable correlations have been found. The predictions made by linear regression widely agree with the literature. The numerical form of the description and the choice of acoustic variables studied are particularly well suited for future implementation in a speech synthesis system, possibly allowing for the expression of gradual emotional states.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Schroder:2001:ACE.pdf} }
