Title:
VOICE SIGNAL DEFORMATION CONNECTION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3465734
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a voice signal deformation connection method capable of connecting the voice messages of different voice quality each other without the sense of incongruity.
SOLUTION: Two voice signals 101 and 102 obtained by making two speakers utter the same text are connection-processed. Synthetic voice 103 resulted from this processing is constituted of the voice section of the speaker 1, a deformation connection section and the voice section of the speaker 2. Even in the case that the voice quality of the two speakers is widely different, when the extent of deformation at one time is small, a listener side does not feel the sense of incongruity so much. Then, the voice is connected by repeating the deformation without the sense of incongruity stopwise for several times. That is, in the voice message obtained by connection, the voice quality is gradually changed over the prescribed time of the deformation connection section.
