PURPOSE: A real-time message exchange system is provided to exchange texts and files with the other party connected to a user through a communication network in real time, and to output a received text message in a voice upon user's selection. CONSTITUTION: A message transceiver(10) transmits a message produced by a computer to a plurality of client computers through a service provision server connected to a communication network like the Internet, or receives messages produced by each client computer through the service provision server. A TTS(Test-To-Speech) engine(20) converts text data into voice data to output the converted data. A TTS engine controller(40) controls the TTS engine(20) to be normally operated. A voice output function part(60) converts voice signals converted by the TTS engine(20) into audible voice to output the converted voice. A display function part(50) outputs received messages in text for a user to recognize the messages. An event processing function part(30) controls the message transceiver(10), the TTS engine controller(40) and the display function part(50) according to events accompanied with the message transceiving through the message transceiver(10).
