<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a voice synthesizer etc., for facilitating modification of voice data used for voice synthesis, while keeping unity of a voice to be synthesized. <P>SOLUTION: A voice segment segment database D1 and a database D3 for voice segment synthesis are stored with voice segment data while the data are made to correspond to readings of voice segments. Furthermore, an elementary piece database D2 is stored with data representing elementary pieces forming a phoneme. A character database D united, including them is made detachable from a voice synthesizing unit D. When the voice synthesizing unit S inputs document information, a hybrid synthesizing sub-unit S1 and a voice segment synthesizing sub-unit S2 select voice segment data whose readings are common to voices in a document out of voice segment data, and acquires and combines the data of phonemes corresponding to a part for which voice segment data cannot be selected to synthesize voice data. Then, the selected and synthesized data are combined with each other, to generate data of a synthesized voice. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
