I would like to analyze sound waves (vowel sounds) on my computer. I believe some kind of Fourier analysis will do that. Has anyone a programmable algorithm on how to perform the analysis. Let's say that I have a sound wave sampled at rate 10 kHz. The pitch is 100 Hz and resolution is 8 bits. One wave length is 100 bytes. Acoustically speaking I would like to know the harmonics for the sound. The wave could then be reconstructed by adding sine waves8 the amplitude of each wave corresponding to the level of respective harmonic. There might be programs that perform this8 but I still would need the algorithm. I'm planning a speech synthesizer and need to do the programming myself. Johan Halmen
