Abstract :
An algorithm is proposed which will obtain, from an input speech signal, formant parameter data to control a parallel formant speech synthesiser. By allowing some delay and employing variable-frame-rate techniques, the parameter data can be obtained at a low frame rate (typically 20 frames per second) suitable for transmission or storage.
