SVOX Participation in Blizzard 2007

Johan Wouters

SVOX AG, Switzerland

This paper describes the SVOX system architecture and the steps we took to integrate the Blizzard database into our system. The results of the Blizzard evaluation show that SVOX is a leader in small and large footprint unit selection. Analysis of the mean opinion scores for specific sentences shows where our system can improve most. Some recommendations for future Blizzard Challenges are also made.
