<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a voice synthesizer improved by realizing quickness of processing as well as naturalness of an output voice. SOLUTION: A waveform candidate acquisition means 8 divides given phonemic information into extended syllables and acquires corresponding sample voice waveform data from a voice database 6. Since many sample waveform data are stored in the voice database 6, plural sample voice waveform data are obtained as candidates for one extended syllable. A waveform candidate determination means 10 determines one sample voice waveform data out of plural sample voice waveform data, which are acquired by the waveform candidate acquisition means 8, for one extended syllable in consideration of context or the like. A waveform coupling means 12 couples a series of sample voice waveform data obtained by the waveform candidate determination means 10 to obtain voice waveform data to be outputted. An analog conversion means 4 converts it to an analog voice signal.</p> |
