This paper describes our experiment, where the sentences of emotionally converted speech were evaluated by the classical listening test accompanied by visual stimuli of affective pictures with emotional content. Obtained results for sentences uttered by male and female speakers corresponding to five emotional states (joy, surprise, sadness, anger original neutral state) confirm our working hypothesis about influence of visual stimuli on the speech emotion evaluation process.
