摘要： A speech synthesis method that generates a speech pitch wave from a reference speech signal by subjecting the reference speech signal to one of Fourier transform and Fourier series expansion to produce a discrete spectrum, that interpolates the discrete spectrum to generate a consecutive spectrum, and that subjects the consecutive spectrum to inverse Fourier transform. A linear prediction coefficient is generated by subjecting the reference speech signal to a linear prediction analysis. The speech pitch wave is subjected to inverse-filtering based on the linear prediction coefficient to produce a residual pitch wave. Information regarding the residual pitch wave is stored as information of a speech synthesis unit in a voice period. A speech is then synthesized using the information of the speech synthesis unit.

摘要： A representative pattern memory stores a plurality of initial representative patterns as a noise pattern. Different attribute is affixed to each initial representative pattern. A pitch pattern memory stores a large number of natural pitch patterns as an accent phrase. A clustering unit classifies each natural pitch pattern to the initial representative pattern based on the attribute of the accent phrase. A transformation parameter generation unit calculates an error between a transformed representative pattern and each natural pitch pattern classified to the initial representative pattern. A representative pattern generation unit calculates an evaluation function of the sum of the error between the transformed-representative pattern and each natural pitch pattern classified to the initial representative pattern, and updates each initial representative pattern. The representative pattern memory stores each updated representative pattern as a clustered pattern of the attribute affixed to the corresponding initial representative pattern.

摘要： In a synthesis unit generator, a plurality of synthesis speech segments are generated by synthesizing training speech segments labeled with phonetic contexts and input speech segments while altering the pitch/duration of the input speech segments in accordance with the pitch/duration of the training speech segments. Typical speech segments are selected from the input speech segments on the basis of a distance between the synthesis speech segments and the training speech segments, and are stored in a storage. In addition, a plurality of phonetic context clusters corresponding to the synthesis units are generated on the basis of the distance, and are stored in a storage. A synthesis speech signal is generated by reading out, from the storage, those of the synthesis units, which correspond to the phonetic context clusters including phonetic contexts of input phonemes, and connecting the selected synthesis units in a speech synthesizer.
