Abstract

A speech synthesizing method which synthesizes speech naturally is disclosed. Standardized frame power values of an n-th frame is calculated when frame power values at head and tail frames in a phoneme are standardized. An average value of the power values sampled from the power frequency characteristics in the n-th frame at a predetermined frequency interval is set as a mean frame power value. A sum of squares of signal levels in one frame of a frequency signal from a sound source is calculated as a frame power correction value. A speech envelope signal is calculated as a function having variables of the standardized frame power values, the frame power correction value and the mean frame power value. The speech envelope signal adjusts the amplitude level of a speech waveform signal supplied from a vocal tract filter according to the level of the speech envelope signal.
