ITU-T P.85 (1994)/Amd.1 (03/2013) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency i

    8、n the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to s

    9、tandardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations i

    10、s covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to

    11、 indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is a

    12、chieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECT

    13、UAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whethe

    14、r asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are caut

    17、.85 A method for subjective performance assessment of the quality of speech voice output devices Amendment 1 New Appendix I Evaluation of speech output for audiobook reading tasks (This appendix does not form an integral part of the Recommendation.) Whereas the method and the questionnaires given in

    18、 the main body of this Recommendation are adequate for applications providing vocal answers related to telephone directory inquiries, weather forecast, mail order and similar tasks, they are less adequate for applications where longer text paragraphs and potentially literature are read through synth

    19、etic speech output, as is the case in audiobook reading tasks. For such applications, the task of the voice output is not pure information provisioning, but rather an expressive, emotion-triggering vocal output, putting more emphasis on different aspects of speech output quality than in traditional

    20、telecom services 9. To address these aspects, a test methodology is presented in this Appendix which addresses mainly two perceptual dimensions of such speech output, namely its listening pleasure and its prosody. These dimensions were extracted with the help of principal axis factor (PAF) analysis

    21、from auditory test results involving typical examples of TTS systems and typical (prosaic and poetic) text passages, as summarized in Table I.1. Details on the derivation of the methodology are given in 8 and 10. Table I.1 Examples of text categories for audiobook reading tasks ID Category Author Bo

All other characteristics of the test methodology (selection of test participants, listening environment, etc.) should remain as described previously. _ 1No English translation available. 2 Rec. ITU-T P.85 (1994)/Amd.1 (03/2013) I.1 Speech material Passages from stan

    25、dard audio books should be used as material for the listening test. The passages should cover a wide variety of writing styles and book categories, potentially including thrillers, funny books, action-packed passages, books for children, books with very long sentences, and passages containing almost

    26、 only direct speech, in case that these styles are considered as representative for the later application. Exemplary text categories are given in Table I.1. The passages should have an approximate length of one minute when read aloud. I.2 Rating scales For assessing speech output in audiobook readin

    27、g tasks, a questionnaire with eight items is proposed, see Table I.2. Four of these items are modified versions of items in the main body of this Recommendation, and four items are added which are specific to audiobook reading tasks. These additional items were selected based on the review of curren

    28、t literature, and address prosodic elements like communicative, structuring, aesthetic and emotional aspects that can be seen as the most important factors for reading and interpreting books 11. Table I.2 Questionnaire items for audiobook reading tasks Standard items (modified) Additional items rela

    29、ted to audiobooks Overall impression Speech pauses Voice pleasantness Intonation Listening effort Emotion Acceptance Word stress The scales address the following aspects of quality: Overall impression This scale evaluates the overall quality of the synthesized signal and was adopted with slight modi

    30、fications. Voice pleasantness This scale measures the degree of voice pleasantness from unpleasant to pleasant and was adopted with slight modifications. Listening effort This scale describes the effort a listener is required to make when listening to this voice over a longer period of time. It was

    31、adopted from this Recommendation with slight modifications. Acceptance The acceptance scale from the main body of this Recommendation was transformed into a continuous scale. Speech pauses This scale evaluates if punctuation marks (e.g., period, comma, question mark, exclamation mark, colon, etc.) h

    32、ave been converted into appropriate speech pauses between words, sentences and paragraphs. Intonation This scale determines if the produced pitch curve fits with the sentence type, e.g., the pitch of interrogative sentences usually increases at the end of a sentence whereas the pitch of declarative

    33、sentences decreases. Rec. ITU-T P.85 (1994)/Amd.1 (03/2013) 3 Emotion Variation of emotion is achieved by variations of sound pressure, intonation, speech pauses and volume 11. To ensure an authentic reading experience, the voice should reflect the atmosphere of the scene and the moods of the charac

    34、ters. Word stress Unnatural stress and accentuations often result in very annoying voices and thus also cause problems in text comprehension 11. This scale is used to determine if the stress was perceived as unnatural or confusing. The scales are presented in a continuous scale layout with overflow

    35、areas on both extremities, in order to avoid saturation effects. Such effects might occur if a characteristic of one stimulus is already rated in an end category of a scale, and the subsequent stimulus is considered as having an even more extreme characteristic of that kind. The scales may be presen

Subseq

    41、uently, quality estimates for the other eight scales are solicited. To avoid any impact with regard to the order, the sequence of these subsequent eight scales (except MOS) should be randomized between participants. In order to familiarize themselves with the test procedure, participants first have
