Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose the multimodal voice conversion based on Deep Neural Network using audio and lip movement information for improving speech intelligibility uttered by glossectomy patients.
The glossectomy patients remove more than half of their tongue, sound uttered by them contain less intelligibility compared to healthy persons.
In beseline using audio information, intelligibility isn't imporved enough.
Hence, we improve more by the multimodal voice conversion.
The lip movement information is face feature points obtained by Microsoft Kinect v2.
From the result of evaluation, proposed approach cannot improve precision of voice conversion, but can improve intelligibility compared to baseline.
