            Abstract : 
A speech-rate-change method is proposed that is a refinement of the pitch-adaptive methods and cuts at the length of one (multi)-pitch-length the speech segment that has a smooth short-time energy waveform. The method avoids phoneme transitions being discarded or repeated and thus produces high-quality rate-changed speech
