Abstract
In a speech analysis and synthesis (composing) method, a phoneme transition waveform is generated to smoothly couple phoneme PHA to PHB having different pitch periods. The method involves obtaining the differential value (difference phoneme .DELTA.PH or difference phoneme .DELTA.PHI and difference clock or pitch period), and in composition merely adding phoneme PHA and difference phoneme .DELTA.PHI and clock period and difference clock period.
