A semiconductor integrated circuit device including: a storage section which temporarily stores a command and text data input from the outside; a speech synthesis section which synthesizes a speech signal corresponding to the text data based on the command and the text data stored in the storage section, and outputs the synthesized speech signal to the outside; and a control section which controls a timing at which the command and the text data stored in the storage section are transferred to the speech synthesis section based on a speech synthesis start control signal. The control section controls an output of a speech output start notification signal which notifies in advance a start of outputting the synthesized speech signal to the outside based on occurrence of a speech synthesis start event, and then controls a start of outputting the synthesized speech signal to the outside at a given timing. |
