چکیده
The Voice Conversion Challenge (VCC) 2016, one of the special sessions at Interspeech 2016, deals with the well-known task of speaker identity conversion, referred as Voice Conversion (VC). The objective of the VCC is to compare various VC techniques on identical training and evaluation speech data. The full description of VCC 2016, the motivation, the database, the rules, the participants and main findings are presented in [1]. In the current paper, we describe the listening test design in more detail, we present the results of the listening test and the subsequent statistical analyses.
