PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method of voice compositing which allows a small capacity of memory for storing a data base by maintaining a high- quality sound of composited voices even when a small number of voice elements are stored in the data base. SOLUTION: Inputted characters are converted into phonetic notation (means 101). The rhythms of synthesized voice are calculated by the converted phonetic notation (means 102), and based on the converted phonetic notation, voice elements including at least one of two syllables in the heading of word which sharpen human hearing sense, the voice elements of high-pitch frequencies upto the accent kernel, the voice elements including the endings of words and other voice elements are selected (means 103) from a memory 104. The variations of the rhythms of these voice elements are executed (means 105) in the conditions that the fine structures of the rhythm at the time of recording voice elements are left with respect to the voice elements including at least one of the two heating syllables of words, high-pitch frequencies up to the accent kernel and endings of words and the variation of the rhythm of the other voice elements is executed by making the use of the fine structures of the rhythms at the time of recording or using calculated rhythms. |
