This study examined word level intelligibility differences between DECTalk and MacinTalk speech synthesizers using the Modified Rhyme Test in an open format transcription task. Three groups of listeners participated: inexperienced, speech-language pathologists, and speech synthesis experts. Results for between-subjects ANOVA showed that the expert group correctly identified a significantly higher number of words than each of the other listener groups. For the within-subjects factor of voice, simple effects ANOVA and post hoc contrasts within each group showed that listeners had higher intelligibility scores for the DECTalk male voice, Perfect Paul, than for the MacinTalk male voice, Bruce. No other pairwise gender/age-matched differences were found between the two synthesizers.
本研究在开放式转录任务中使用改良韵律测试，考察了DECTalk和MacinTalk语音合成器在单词层面的可懂度差异。三组听众参与了研究：无经验者、言语语言病理学家和语音合成专家。组间方差分析结果显示，专家组正确识别的单词数量显著高于其他每组听众。对于声音的组内因素，每组内的简单效应方差分析和事后对比表明，与MacinTalk男性声音布鲁斯相比，听众对DECTalk男性声音完美保罗的可懂度得分更高。在两种合成器之间未发现其他成对的性别/年龄匹配差异。
