ABSTRACT:
A speech information processing apparatus includes a statistical processing unit for extracting features by performing statistical processing of a feature file formed by extracting features of speech, such as the fundamental frequency and its variations, and the power and its variations of speech, from a speech file, and a label file in which a phoneme environment, comprising the accent type, the number of moras, the mora position, phonemes and the like, is considered, and a pitch pattern forming unit for forming a pitch pattern, in which phoneme environment is considered, based on the result of the statistical processing.
