Abstract The APP method is capable to provide excellent estimation of speech aperiodic / periodic measurement and pitch simultaneously which is useful in speech research and application. However, due to its heavy computational load, APP system is about 110 times real-time, being an extinct flaw for utilization. In this paper, a modified detection of aperiodicity, periodicity and pitch in speech (MAPP) method is presented, which maintains the merit of APP method and eliminates the redundancy of configuration and computation, rationalizing the methodology. Computer simulation shows that MAPP method maintains high accuracy and robustness and that the system is improved to 12.3 times real-time on Pentium processor with 1.70GHz CPU and 512MB RAM, speeding up about one order of magnitude.
