| Abstract(in English) | A quantitative index is needed to estimate the optimum reproduction speed for high speed reproduction of various voices without missing voices. In this paper, we report two results concerning this problem. As the first result, we propose a method for estimating speaking rate and show that we can estimate the speaking rate with 16% of root mean squared error using proposed method. As the second result, we show that the higher conversion rate becomes, the larger the inconsistency of the harmonic structure of a voice become. In this study, we have used a newly constructed speech data base called SRV-DB. We intend to announce this paper as a practical example of the SRV-DB. |
