Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We realized a video and speech processing method in which the support recipient does not perceive time lag in conversation using speech rate conversion system. The hearer is able to have a conversation with a conversation interface that could take lip sync in which video and speech are synchronized. In addition, as a support method for the "speaker" who does not need to support listening to the slow utterance, the speaker listen the loops back speech himself after the utterance so that the speaker can understand the listening contents of the slow utterance on the hearer side. We implemented an interface that adaptively plays loop-back voice (voice feedback) and clarified the effectiveness of voice feedback.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
遠隔ミーティングや遠隔授業等の利用機会が増加している現在,多人数が参加する会話場において,ゆっくりとした発話で聴取したい参加者もいることが想定される. 本研究成果は,聞き取りに支障のある弱者が他者との対等なコミュニケーションをとるためのインタフェース設計をした.これにより,これまで周囲とのコミュニケーションが遠慮がちで孤独感を持っている人でも,会話の場に加わることができ,例えば高齢者の生活の質の向上や,非母語の学習者の言語の能力向上につながる.本研究成果は,人間同士のコミュニケーションの多様な場に応用が可能である.
