Abstract
In a voice speed converting system according to the present invention, an input sound signal is subjected to voice speed conversion processing by a voice speed conversion processing device. Output from the voice speed conversion processing device is written to a ring memory. Data written to the ring memory are read out at a predetermined speed. The amount of stored data in the ring memory is calculated on the basis of a write signal and a read signal for the ring memory by stored data amount calculating device. The voice speed converting device includes a section judging device that judges which of a voice section and a silence section corresponds to the input sound signal. The input sound signal is subjected to compression and expansion processing or deletion processing, in response to an output of the section judging device and an output of the stored data amount calculating device by a signal processing device.
