Abstract
A speech processing device includes a processor; and a memory which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute: obtaining input speech, detecting a vowel segment contained in the input speech, estimating an accent segment contained in the input speech, calculating a first vowel segment length containing the accent segment and a second vowel segment length excluding the accent segment, and controlling at least one of the first vowel segment length and the second vowel segment length.
Claims20
A speech processing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute:
- obtaining input speech,
- detecting a vowel segment contained in the input speech,
- estimating an accent segment contained in the input speech,
- calculating a first vowel segment length containing the accent segment and a second vowel segment length excluding the accent segment, and
- controlling at least one of the first vowel segment length and the second vowel segment length.
A speech processing method comprising:
- obtaining input speech;
- detecting a vowel segment contained in the input speech;
- estimating an accent segment contained in the input speech;
- calculating, by a computer processor, a first vowel segment length containing the accent segment and a second vowel segment length excluding the accent segment;
- and
- controlling at least one of the first vowel segment length and the second vowel segment length.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a speech processing program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:
- obtaining input speech;
- detecting a vowel segment contained in the input speech;
- estimating an accent segment contained in the input speech;
- calculating a first vowel segment length containing the accent segment and a second vowel segment length excluding the accent segment;
- and
- controlling at least one of the first vowel segment length and the second vowel segment length.
A portable terminal device comprising:
- a microphone that inputs a speaker's voice as input speech;
- an input unit configured to receive the input speech as input from the microphone;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory which stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute:
- obtaining the input speech,
- detecting a vowel segment contained in the input speech,
- estimating an accent segment contained in the input speech,
- calculating a first vowel segment length containing the accent segment and a second vowel segment length excluding the accent segment, and
- controlling at least one of the first vowel segment length and the second vowel segment length,
- a speaker configured to output an output speech generated by controlling the input speech.
