Time and frequency scale modification of speech signals

This paper presents new and improved methods for independently modifying the time and pitch scale of acoustic signals, with an emphasis on speech signals. The algorithms developed here use parametric (sinusoidal) modelling techniques introduced by other authors, but new ideas are presented here that achieve improved output quality with decreased computational load. In particular, speech quality is improved by using novel ideas to reduce phase dispersion in the scaled signal.
