comprehensibility, user friendliness, prosodic emphasis, speed rateAbstract
The present linguistic specifications and language-independent parameters for prosodic modelling aim to provide a general framework for facilitating both the construction and the evaluation processes of the Dialog Interface of Human-Computer Interaction Systems in Service for the Elderly and the related prosodic modelling. The proposed specifications target the features of Comprehensibility and User-friendliness in the spoken output and the overall safety, efficiency, and reliability of the System’s performance.
