Abstract
According to one embodiment, a prosody editing apparatus includes a storage, a first selection unit, a search unit, a normalization unit, a mapping unit, a display, a second selection unit, a restoring unit and a replacing unit. The search unit searches the storage for one or more second prosodic patterns corresponding to attribute information that matches attribute information of the selected phrase. The mapping maps each of the normalized second prosodic patterns on a low-dimensional space. The restoring unit restores a restored prosodic pattern according to the selected coordinates. The replacing unit replaces prosody of synthetic speech generated based on the selected phrase by the restored prosodic pattern.
