1. A method of dividing a letter sequence into pronunciation units, the method comprising:
- extracting maximum points and minimum points of voice intensity from a voice waveform of the letter sequence (S100);
grouping the extracted maximum points to form a group (S200); and
dividing the letter sequence into the pronunciation units, using a point nearest to either side of the group from among the minimum points, a voice start point, and a voice end point as a boundary (S300).

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for dividing pronunciation units which includes the steps of: extracting voice-intensity maxima and minima in voice waveforms of letter sequences; forming a group by grouping the extracted maxima together; dividing the letter sequences into pronunciation units around the points nearest to either side of the group from among minima on both sides of the group, voice start points, and voice end points.
