Outline of Final Research Achievements

For human learning from ears, we developed a method of making speaker-adaptive voice synthesis system. We showed that we can use deep-learning for the purpose with small amount of voice data as the previous Hidden Markov models. We also made a iOS application of audio book reader using the above method and demonstrated that the application could read digital books in a ePub format using speaker's voice. We could use this system for analysis of engagement time and learning performance using various voices.
