Abstract
The invention relates to a method for outputting a speech signal. Speech signal frames are received and are used in a predetermined sequence in order to produce a speech signal to be output. If one speech signal frame to be received is not received, then a substitute speech signal frame is used in its place, which is produced as a function of a previously received speech signal frame. According to the invention, in the situation in which the previously received speech signal frame has a voiceless speech signal, the substitute speech signal frame is produced by means of a noise signal.
