Precise formant tracking has been a challenge for researchers in speech processing for long. In this paper, the authors present a method to track and modify formants in speech signals. It is an efficient tool for analyzing and altering the spectral content of speech, furthermore it provides an opportunity to modify timbre and voice quality. The method is based on the linear prediction model.
