Abstract:
In this paper we developed in MATLAB a software environment in order to extract the main features from the Romanian vowels, which we intend to use in the synthesis step. We estimated speech parameters such as: energy, zero crossing rate (ZCR), fundamental frequency, formants. The used methods for obtaining the parameters are time domain analysis, cepstral analysis and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC). The analyzed vowels were uttered by several speakers and some experimental results are presented.
