VOICE SYNTHESIZER, PSEUDOFEELING EXPRESSING DEVICE AND VOICE SYNTHESIZING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pseudofeeling expressing device which is made suitable in clearly transmitting different plural pseudofeelings to an observer. SOLUTION: A pet type robot 1 is provided with a voice data registration database 14 which stores voice data for every pseudofeeling and a voice data synthesizer 15 which synthesizes the voice data of the database 14. The robot 1 recognizes an externally given stimulus and generates plural pseudofeelings based on the recognition result. The device 15 reads and synthesizes respective voice data corresponding to the generated pseudofeelings from the database 14 and voice is outputted based on the synthesized voice data. Thus, different plural pseudofeelings are relatively clearly transmitted to a user and interesting and lovely expressions that do not exist for an actual pet are made available.
