Abstract: In this paper we describe the Albayzín 2010 Text--to--Speech Evaluation Campaign. 6 teams submitted a total of 10 systems to the evaluation. Participants were asked to build their system from a common Spanish database and synthesize a set of test sentences. An online evaluation in three sections, similarity to the original speaker, naturalness and intelligibility was conducted. We also present a statistical analysis and results of the evaluation.

Index Terms: speech synthesis, subjective evaluation.
