SIMULTANEOUS ARTICULATION PROCESSOR FOR CHINESE VOICE SYNTHESIS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a high natural synthetic voice by retrieving a simultaneous articulation segment of a word line, overlapping the waveform of the simultaneous articulation segment on the waveforms of an advancing syllable and a succeeding syllable of the word line and weighting them.;SOLUTION: A word analytic device 11 analyzes an inputted sentence based on a dictionary in a dictionary memory 12 storing the word lines and the voice written data, and divides it to plural word lines, and labels on positions between adjacent word lines. A syllable analytic device 14 decides whether the simultaneous articulation processing is performed for any word line based on the data in a pitch data storage of VC(VV) simultaneous articulation segment and CV syllable 15 and a label data storage of VC(VV) simultaneous articulation segment and CV syllable 16, and retrieves the pitch data and label data of the decided CV syllable and VC(VV) simultaneous articulation segment. A waveform overlapping and adding device 19 overlaps and adds the waveforms of the CV syllable and the VC(VV) simultaneous articulation segment.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO
