  Abstract

The accurate pitch extraction is very important in speech signal processing. If we measure the pitch period accurately, the accuracy of speech recognition can be higher due to the decrement of speaker dependent effect and we can change the characteristic of synthetic voice easily. Cepstrum pitch search method is a good pitch search method for transition region of speech but it has a drawback of excessive processing time for transform of processing domain. In this paper, we proposed a new method that can reduce the pitch search time of Cepstrum method. To improve the excessive processing time of conventional method for transformation of processing domain, we use the method that omits the bit-reversing process of FFT and IFFT and searches pitch peak only between 18 and 142 quefrency. As a result of applying the proposed method, we can reduce the pitch searching time by 87.94% over the conventional method.
