Dear all,

I hope you are doing well.

My name is Marwan Badawi, and I am an undergraduate student at the University of Edinburgh. I am currently working on my dissertation, which focuses on evaluating TTS systems with respect to their ability to generate accurate and natural Arabic dialects.

As part of this work, I am conducting a short listening evaluation and would greatly appreciate your participation. I am specifically looking for native or fluent speakers of the following dialects: Egyptian, Palestinian, Syrian, Lebanese, Libyan, and Saudi.

Participants will be asked to listen to a small number of audio samples and rate them based on a few criteria. Each person only needs to evaluate 5 sentences (across 5 different systems), and the task should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

Your time and support would be sincerely appreciated.

You can access the evaluation here:

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
Marwan Badawi

Dear all,

I would like to send a quick reminder regarding the evaluation.

For those who have already started or completed it, please note that there are 5 sentences to evaluate for each of the 5 systems. The dropdown menu indicates which sentence number you are currently evaluating. From the responses so far, it seems that many participants evaluated all 5 systems for only one sentence.

If you would be willing to complete the full evaluation, I would greatly appreciate it. If not, I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you have already contributed.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Marwan Badawi
