| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted development of Easy Japanese composition support system YANSIS and related investigations. We developed a method of automatic estimation of difficulty of a sentence, and investigated relation between intelligibility of Japanese speech listened by non-Japanese-native speakers and speech rate, pause, and speech degradation by reverberation. This investigation revealed the most appropriate speech rate for Easy Japanese speech. In addition, we implemented the function of automatic sentence difficulty estimation and speech synthesizer into YANSIS.
