| Abstract(in English) | A text-to-speech synthesizer that would produce easily understandable voices at very fast speaking rates is expected to help persons with visual disability to acquire information effectively with screen reading software. We investigated the intelligibility of Japanese text-to-speech systems at very fast speaking rates using four-digit random numbers as the vocabulary of the recall test. As a result of the experiments with young subjects and elderly subjects, the significant learning effects were not observed in case of the elderly subjects as compared with the young subjects. |
