| Details | An experiment was conducted to confirm the possibility that the use of a mechanically synthesized application to create a synthesized voice from an English presentation script would reduce the anxiety of Japanese presenters during their presentations and have some effect on their self-efficacy. A group with high English proficiency and a group with low English proficiency were used as subjects, using English with a Japanese accent and English spoken by a native speaker. The results showed that a simple main effect test indicated a significant increase in self-efficacy in the higher level subjects. These results indicate that no matter what model is used, the use of TTS synthesized speech significantly increases self-efficacy in upper-level subjects. |
