| 5 | 5 | Listener vocalizations play an important role in communicating listener intentions while the interlocutor is talking. They include non-linguistic vocalizations like ''uh-huh, mhm, (laughter),'' and ''(sigh)'' as well as verbal response tokens such as ''yes, right, really,'' and ''absolutely''. To communicate different intentions, a synthesiser should be capable of generating a broad range of vocalisations with different kinds of acoustic properties. In multimodal human-computer interaction, the ability of systems to generate vocal listener behavior is an important requirement for generating affective interaction. This page aims to provide examples to synthesize vocalizations using MARY speech synthesis framework. |
