VOICE SELECTION DEVICE AND PROGRAM

Japanese Patent JP2017187686

A

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select, from a plurality of complementary voices, a complementary voice to be added to a program voice when it is presented, the complementary voice distinguishable from the program voice.SOLUTION: A feature amount calculation unit 11-n of a voice selection device 1 calculates an acoustic feature amount by reading voice waveform data of a program voice from a program voice DB 10-n. A feature amount calculation unit 21-m calculates an acoustic feature amount by reading voice waveform data of a complementary voice from a complementary voice DB 20-m. A similarity calculation unit 22-m calculates similarities between 1st-Nth program voices and an mth complementary voice. A similarity addition unit 23-m calculates the sum total of the similarities between the mth complementary voice and the program voices of 1st-Nth program speakers. A selection unit 24 specifies the sum total of smallest similarities in the sum total of similarities for every 1st-Mth complementary voices, and selects a complementary voice DB 20 corresponding to the sum total of smallest similarities.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
