ABSTRACT:
A speech synthesizing method which uses glottal modelling to determine and transform ten or fewer high level parameters into thirty-nine low level parameters using mapping relations. These parameters are inputted to a speech synthesizer to enable speech to be synthesized more simply than with prior art systems that required 50 to 60 parameters to be inputted to represent any particular speech.
