Abstract

According to the invention, spectral voice characteristics are determined in a natural language expression, whereby the expression is digitized and subjected to a wavelet transformation. The speaker-specific characteristics arise from the different transformation steps of the wavelet transformation. Within the scope of a voice synthesis, these characteristics can be compared with characteristics of other expressions in order to generate a continuously sounding synthetic voice signal for the human ear. Alternatively, the characteristics can also be modified in a targeted manner in order to counteract a perceptive dissonance.
