The Blizzard Challenge 2012

The Blizzard Challenge 2012 was the eighth annual Blizzard Challenge which was once again organised by the University of Edinburgh with assistance from the other members of the Bliz- zard Challenge committee - Prof. Keiichi Tokuda and Prof. Alan Black. One single-speaker English corpus was used, created from audiobook recordings on the Librivox website. Besides the main task of creating synthetic voices from these data, participants were invited to propose novel forms of evaluation. Index Terms: Blizzard Challenge, speech synthesis, evaluation, listening test
