Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3060276
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To make a synthesized speech easy to catch and to give it a natural rhythm by generating time change patterns of respective basic frequencies of fixed, variable information, successively connecting them, generating the time change pattern of the basic frequency of a sentence and synthesizing the speech. CONSTITUTION: A text analysis means generates a phonogram line from an input sentence to output it to an acoustic parameter generation means 11. Related to a fixed form part, in a fixed form FO pattern/duration time length generation means 8, and related to an unfixed form part, in an unfixed form FO pattern/duration time length generation means 9, an FO pattern and a duration time length are generated respectively. These FO pattern and duration time length are connected successively in an FO pattern/duration time length connecting/editing means 10, and the FO pattern and the duration time length of the whole sentence are generated. The acoustic parameter generation means 11 generates an acoustic parameter based on the phonogram line. Further, a speech signal generation means 12 generates and outputs a speech signal from the FO pattern, etc.
