Abstract :
We propose a software environment in Matlab, in order to extract the main features from the Romanian vowels and to synthesize the vowels. The used analysis techniques for the estimation of the parameters are: time domain analysis for energy and zero-crossing rate (ZCR), cepstral analysis for fundamental frequency and linear predictive coding (LPC) for formants. Also, to synthesize the vowels, we used the LPC method
