Abstract
A sinusoidal representation of speech and a cochlear model are used to extract speech parameters in this paper, and a speech analysis/synthesis system controlled by the auditory spectrum is developed with the model. The computer simulation shows that speech can be synthesized with only 12 parameters per frame on the average. The method has the advantages of few parameters, low complexity and high performance of speech representation. The synthetic speech has high intelligibility.
