We are happy to announce that our article Phonetic Accommodation to Natural and Synthetic Voices: Behavior of Groups and Individuals in Speech Shadowing was published in Speech Communication and is available online. 📖 #openaccess 🔓

The article presents a comparison of phonetic accommodation to natural and synthetic voices when shadowing short sentences. The study investigates a diverse set of features pertaining to different phonetic domains. Natural and synthetic voices triggered accommodating behavior for several features. Predominant pattern: convergence during the interaction followed by divergence after the interaction. Individual participants converged to varying subsets of the examined features.
