SEGMENT INFORMATION GENERATION DEVICE, SPEECH SYNTHESIS DEVICE, SPEECH SYNTHESIS METHOD, AND SPEECH SYNTHESIS PROGRAM

摘要

A segment information generation device includes a waveform cutout unit cuts out a speech waveform from natural speech at a time period not depending on a pitch frequency of the natural speech. A feature parameter extraction unit extracts a feature parameter of a speech waveform from the speech waveform cut out by the waveform cutout unit. A time domain waveform generation unit generates a time domain waveform based on the feature parameter.
