The Speaker Adaptive Training (SAT) was applied to the HMM-based dialogue speech synthesis based on the UU Database. Its effect on the naturalness and controllability of paralinguistic information was investigated. The naturalness for the SAT model was 3.2 in the 5-grade MOS, which was comparable to that for the speaker independent (SI) model, and slightly better than that for the speaker dependent (SD) model. The controllability test showed that the correlation coefficient between given and perceived Arousal for the SAT model was 0.64, which was significantly higher than that for the SD model, and slightly worse than that for the SI model. |
