Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the degree of clearness from being lowered by suppressing an amplitude for a prescribed time before a time point when the vowel block of a voice signal compressed in the amplitude level is finished. CONSTITUTION:A voice analysis part 2 detects the vowel block of the digital voice signal compressed with the amplitude level with a linear predictive analysis method or a PARCOR analysis method, detects the end of the vowel block and outputs an end detecting signal. On the other hand, the digital voice signal is stored in a voice memory 4 as it is. When a CPU 3 receives the end detecting signal from the analysis part 2, voice data in the memory 4 are read out, a control for decreasing the amplitude or turning it to '0' is performed for (t) milli-seconds before the end of the vowel block, and a voice control command signal is outputted to a D/A converter 5 later. This signal is converted to an analog signal by the converter 5 and outputted from a voice output signal 6 as a completely processed regenerative voice signal. Thus, the degree of voice clearness can be prevented from being lowered.
