| Abstract(in English) | This paper proposes a method of pitch modification using the speech synthesis method from short-time Fourier transform (STFT) magnitude. The method modifies first the pitch frequency by frequency scaling using sampling rate conversion. For the speech whose sampling rate is converted, spectral envelopes of STFTs magnitude are restored to the ones of original speech. Finally, a speech is synthesized from the modified STFT magnitude but the frame shirt rate for synthesis is set so that the synthesis speech rate equals to the original one. The resulting pitch modified speech can preserve very well the quality of original speech over the range 0.8-2.0 of rate conversion. |
