ABSTRACT:
A labeling part3analyzes the character string data to produce a phoneme label and a prosody label, partition the voice data stored in a voice database1into phonemic data, and label the phonemic data, employing the phoneme label and the like. A phoneme segmenting part4connects the voice data labeled with the same kind of phonemic data, and a formant extracting part5specifies the frequency of formant of each piece of phonemic data. A processing part6decides an evaluation value for each phonemic data based on the frequency of formant, and an error detection part7detects the phonemic data of which a deviation of the evaluation value within a set of phonemic data reaches a predetermined amount.
