The statistical and spectrum conversion method is researched from of old as the voice conversion technology of the synthesized voice. It is known that the speaker conversion with high quality or more becomes possible by having to acquire the utterance data from the speaker who becomes a target in the statistical and spectrum conversion method beforehand, and obtaining a lot of utterance data. However, receiving huge utterance data from the speaker who becomes a target on the other hand becomes a large encumbrance for the speaker.
On the other hand, the speaker conversion by the vowel change method can convert the speaker into the content of all the utterances by acquiring only the vowel from the speaker who becomes a target. Authors proposed the technique for synthesizing a natural voice by using the modulation uniting model for the vicinity of the phoneme boundary to improve the discontinuity of the voice that was the problem of the vowel exchange method. It proposes the technique for synthesizing a voice near a more natural utterance by studying the application section of the modulation uniting model from the content of the input speaker's utterance in the present study. |
