Abstract(in English) It is extremely significant to develop a voice synthesizer for the voice disorders such as larynx enucleated patients.Control of voice pitch and emphasis is important for providing natural intonation to synthesized voice.In this paper,a method for estimating voice pitch frequency from the electrical impedance of the throat is discussed,and voice is synthesized using estimated pitch frequency.
