Mastering Pronunciation

Speech is the quickest and easiest way to give and receive information, and is therefore one of the most important means of communication for Pepper and NAO. As humanoid robots, they are expected to be able to speak flawlessly, so any error will definitely be noticed.
In this lesson we are going to learn how to get the pronunciation and prosody right to make the robot’s speech more natural.
