Abstract

This university has published the “MMDAgent” voice interaction system toolkit as opensource software. MMDAgent enables users to develop voice interaction system easily by editing the voice interaction scenario based on Finite State Transducer (FST) format. However, having numerous people edit it simultaneously is difficult. For that reason, tremendous labor costs are necessary to describe an abundant voice interaction scenario in an FST script. Therefore, in this study, we propose construction of a crowdsourcing environment for the creation of a voice interaction scenario for systems, facilitating the editing of a FST script by numerous people.
