Summary:We have developed a method of generating "automated sports commentary" that conveys an objective situation with synthesized speech based on live sports data. Our method can be applied to a wide variety of sports events by preparing "commentary templates" for each of them. The results of a subjective assessment demonstrated that the automated sports commentary generated with our method is effective for helping listeners understand the game situation. In addition, a public live streaming with the automated commentary showed that our proposed method can provide practical service for live sports broadcasting.
