Abstract(in English) In this paper, a speech conversion system which enables to modify only speaker's feature in natural voice with maintaining an intonation. First, to realize speaker conversion, we need to construct phoneme database. All of the syllables or vowels of target speaker have to be precaptured and analyzed to get each of their spectrogram. Second, the input speech is analyzed to get the spectrogram as a model speech and we exchange each syllable part of a model speech with target speaker's phoneme spectrogram. And then output speech is played back with STRAIGHT. The output speeches by "Syllable Change" or "Vowel Change" keep the intonation of model speech authentically. In addition, they show equivalent quality with maintaining a feature of target speaker. So especially "Vowel Change" enables speaker conversion by relatively small database.
