Abstract
According to this fundamental frequency generating method, a fundamental frequency pattern is set from a data base of a fundamental frequency pattern of each accent phrase standardized by the phoneme time length or the time length of the vowel and the vowel corresponding portion, and when the corresponding fundamental frequency pattern is not stored in the data base, the fundamental frequency pattern is generated by interpolating the interval between points serving as the references of the fundamental frequency pattern. With this method, a fundamental frequency pattern having higher naturalness than with conventional methods can be generated.
