音声合成装置および方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3913770
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A speech synthesis device, in which the sound quality is not significantly degraded when generating a synthesized sound, includes a target element information generation unit (102), an element database (103), an element selection unit (104), a voice characteristics designation unit (105), a voice characteristics transformation unit (106), a distortion determination unit (108), and a target element information correction unit (109). When the speech element sequence transformed by the voice characteristics transformation unit (106) is determined as distorted by the distortion determination unit (108), the target element information correction unit (109) corrects the speech element information generated by the target element information generation unit (102) to the speech element information of the transformed voice characteristic, and the element selection unit (104) reselects a speech element sequence. Therefore, the synthesized sound of the voice characteristic designated by the voice characteristics designation unit (105) is generated without degrading the sound quality of the synthesized sound.
