Abstract

An apparatus for transforming a voice signal of a talker into a voice signal having characteristics of a different person provides apparatus for separating the talker's voice signal into a plurality of voice parameters including frequency components, a neural network for transforming at least some of the separated frequency components into those characteristic of the different person, and apparatus for combining the voice parameters for reconstituting the talker's voice signal having characteristics of the different person.
