Abstract
A voice converting apparatus and a voice converting method are provided. The method of converting a voice using a voice converting apparatus including receiving a voice from a counterpart, analyzing the voice and determining whether the voice abnormal, converting the voice into a normal voice by adjusting a harmonic signal of the voice in response to determining that the voice is abnormal, and transmitting the normal voice.
Claims20
A method of converting a voice using a voice converting apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving a voice;
- extracting, by a parameter extractor of the voice converting apparatus, a first harmonic element and a second harmonic element from the voice;
- analyzing, by a parameter analyzer of the voice converting apparatus, the voice to determine an open quotient time of the voice based on an energy ratio of a first energy level of the first harmonic element to a second energy level of the second harmonic element;
- determining, by the parameter analyzer, whether the open quotient time is within a predetermined range;
- in response to determining that the open quotient time is beyond the predetermined range, determining that the voice is abnormal by the parameter analyzer;
- and
- adjusting the first harmonic element and the second harmonic element of the voice in response to the voice being determined to be abnormal.

A voice converting apparatus, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a voice;
- a parameter extractor configured to extract a first harmonic element and a second harmonic element from the voice;
- and
- a parameter analyzer configured to analyze the voice to determine an open quotient time of the voice based on an energy ratio of a first energy level of the first harmonic element to a second energy level of the second harmonic element, determine whether the open quotient time is within a predetermined range, and in response to determining that the open quotient time is beyond the predetermined range, determine that the voice is abnormal;
- and
- a voice converter configured to adjust the first harmonic element and the second harmonic element of the voice in response to the voice being determined to be abnormal.
