Abstract
A method and apparatus for reading out a feature parameter and a driver sound source stored in a VCV (vowel-consonant-vowel) speech segment file, sequentially connecting the readout parameter and the readout sound source information in accordance with a predetermined rule, and supplying connected data to a speech synthesizer, thereby generating a speech output, includes a memory for storing the average power of each vowel, and a power controller for controlling the apparatus to normalize a VCV speech segment so that powers at both ends of each VCV segment coincide with the average power of each vowel.
