In an information processing apparatus, the information of a webpage acquired by a page information reception unit is analyzed for a tag and the like by a page information analysis unit, and a character string is extracted under an extraction condition that is set in advance. Multiple character string groups are extracted so that multiple character strings are concurrently perceived in an aural manner. The extracted character strings are converted into respective audio signals by a text-to-sound conversion unit. The multiple audio signals thus generated are processed and synthesized by an audio processing unit based on the allocation pattern set by a frequency band allocation unit, the localization set by a localization allocation unit, and the difference in time at which the audio signals are output set by a time allocation unit. The output unit outputs the synthesized sounds.
