Abstract

See full text

A method for speech synthesis includes receiving an input speech signal containing a set of speech segments, and estimating spectral envelopes of the input speech signal in a succession of time intervals during each of the speech segments. The spectral envelopes are integrated over a plurality of window functions in a frequency domain so as to determine elements of feature vectors corresponding to the speech segments. An output speech signal is reconstructed by concatenating the feature vectors corresponding to a sequence of the speech segments.
