1. A voice waveform interpolating apparatus comprising:
- a voice storage unit storing voice data;
an interpolated waveform generation unit interpolating part of the voice data by another part of the voice data to generate voice data;
a waveform combining unit combining the voice data from the voice storage unit with the interpolated voice data from the interpolated waveform generation unit replacing part of the same; and
an interpolated waveform setting function unit judging if a part of the voice data is appropriate as interpolated voice data for interpolation in the interpolated waveform generation unit, selecting the voice data deemed appropriate, and setting it as the interpolated voice data.

Abstract
A voice waveform interpolating apparatus for interpolating part of stored voice data by another part of the voice data so as to generate voice data. To achieve this, it comprises a voice storage unit, an interpolated waveform generation unit generating interpolated voice data, and a waveform combining unit outputting voice data, a part of the voice data is replaced with another part of the voice data, and further comprises an interpolated waveform setting function unit judging if the other part of the voice data is appropriate as interpolated voice data to be generated by the interpolated waveform generation unit.
