ABSTRACT:
In a method for performing a segmentation operation upon a synthesizing speech signal and an input speech signal, a synthesized speech signal and a speech element duration signal are generated from the synthesizing speech signal A first feature parameter is extracted from the synthesized speech signal, and a second feature parameter is extracted from the input speech signal. A dynamic programming matching operation is performed upon the second feature parameter with reference to the first feature parameter and the speech element duration signal to obtain segmentation points of the input speech signal.
