Natural Speech Technology

Natural Speech Technology (NST) is an EPSRC Programme Grant with the aim of significantly advancing the state-of-the-art in speech technology by making it more natural, approaching human levels of reliability, adaptability and conversational richness. It is a joint project with the Univ. of Edinburgh and the Univ. of Cambridge.
