Development of training system for improving the manner of speaking on lecture speech using speech processing technologies

本研究的主要目的是调查演讲中的说话方式如何影响听众的印象，并找出好的演讲的特征。我的研究表明，包括自发演讲在内的“填充停顿”是改善说话方式的主要因素。同时，我们开发了一个评估和建议系统来训练说话的方式。我开发的系统运行良好，并为演讲者提供了很好的建议。听取建议后的发言者改进了他们的讲话方式。

The main purpose of this research is to investigate that how the manner of speaking on lecture speech affects the impression of listeners and to find out the characteristics of good speech. My study cleared that "filled pauses" including spontaneous speeches were the main factor for improving the manner of speaking. And, we developed an evaluation and advice system for training the manner of speaking. The system I developed worked well and gave the good advices for the speakers. The speakers followed by the advices improved their manner of speaking.
