Abstract

The human speech contains many redundancies. To economize communication channel or memory size for a computerized synthesis of human voices, it is necessary to compress the data before sending. We have treated human speech organ as an eighth order dynamic system which is time varying as the person speaks. Using an anaylyzer of our design, each eight parameters are obtained for the vowels [아], [어], [오], [우], [으], [이], [애], and (외) of korean language with considerable discrepancies between persons. Supplying those parameters to a synthesizer which we have made, we have sucoeeded in the simulation of human speech for the above mentioned vowels of Korean language and observed that they bear all the features of the original speakers.
