Regionalized Text-to-Speech Systems: Persona Design and Application Scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents results on the selection of application scenarios and persona design for sociolect and dialect speech synthesis. These results are derived from a listening experiment and a user study. Most speech synthesis applications focus on major languages that are spoken by many people. We think that the localization of speech synthesis applications by using sociolects and dialects can be beneficial for the user since these language variants entail specific personas and background knowledge.

Cipher text only attack on speech time scrambling systems using correction of audio spectrogram
Recently permutation multimedia ciphers were broken in a chosen-plaintext scenario. That attack models a very resourceful adversary which may not always be the case. To show insecurity of these ciphers, we present a cipher-text only attack on speech permutation ciphers. We show inherent redundancies of speech can pave the path for a successful cipher-text only attack. To that end, regularities ...

The author presents an experiment which critically examines whether current state of the art text to speech synthesisers and web based VRML style graphics can be utilised to provide a multimodal persona presence in less than ideal user conditions. Audio visual anthropomorphised representations of online agents are becoming more common and their use in commercial systems has to be examined in or...
متن کاملScenarios, personas and user stories: User-centered evidence-based design representations of communicable disease investigations
PURPOSE Despite years of effort and millions of dollars spent to create unified electronic communicable disease reporting systems, the goal remains elusive. A major barrier has been a lack of understanding by system designers of communicable disease (CD) work and the public health workers who perform this work. This study reports on the application of user-centered design representations, tradi...
