Preferred term

perception of computer-generated speech  

Definition

  • The ability to generate synthetic speech under computer control provides an important tool for the study of speech perception as well as an important technology for interacting with computers. We generally think of speech as a uniquely human ability, even if qualified by the vocal mimicry abilities of other species such as parrots and mynah birds, but computer models of speech production make it possible to generate speech signals with specific acoustic characteristics.
