Abstract

An encoding unit 2 divides speech signals entering an input terminal 10 in terms of frames as units and encodes the divided signals on the frame basis to output encoding parameters such as line spectral pair (LSP) parameters, pitch, voiced (V)/ unvoiced (UV) or spectral amplitude Am. The modified encoding parameter calculating unit 3 interpolates the encoding parameters for calculating modified encoding parameters associated with desired time points. A decoding unit 6 synthesizes sine waves and the noise based upon the modified encoding parameters and outputs the synthesized speech signals at an output terminal 37. Speed control can be achieved easily at an arbitrary rate over a wide range with high sound quality with the phoneme and the pitch remaining unchanged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and device for reproducing speech signals. In the device, the input speech signal is divided into multi-frame units and encoded to determine encoding parameters. According to the parameters, at least sine waves can be synthesized to reproduce the speech signal. The invention also relates to a method for delivering modified coding parameters obtained by interpolating the coding parameters. Background technique [0002] At present, there are a variety of coding methods for compressing signals. These methods are realized by using the statistical characteristics of the time domain and frequency domain of the audio signal and the psychoacoustic characteristics of the human auditory system. The audio signal includes speech signals and acoustic signals. These coding methods are broadly classified into time-domain coding, frequency-domain coding, and decomposition / synthesis coding. [0003] Meanwhile, with the develop...
