Title:
VOICE SYNTHESIZING DEVICE AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3785892
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a voice synthesizing device which can generate a voice message with natural voice quality and rhythm.
SOLUTION: As for selected databases 2A, 2B... for voice synthesis, a database feature quantity calculation part 4 calculates the feature quantities of their voice waveforms and then a FUJISAKI model parameter calculation part 5 calculates parameters of a FUJISAKI model. Further, a target rhythm generation part 8 generates target rhythm by using the parameters of the FUJISAKI model. An inputted text is converted by a phoneme connection part 8 into synthesized voice by connecting phonemes selected from the databases 2. Then a rhythm correction part 11 compares the rhythm of the synthesized voice with that of the target voice and corrects the synthesized voice so that they match.
