DOCUMENT READ-ALOUD DEVICE, READ-ALOUD CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

The present invention has an architecture capable of eliminating a necessity for previously designating in a document, when reading the document, attributes for reading. Focusing on utilizing the document with attributes, a document reading system analyzes contents of the attributes and reads texts in the document with a voice synthesizing module. The attributes are set irrespective of reading conditions. A basic reading condition setting module 3 sets the reading conditions for the entire document. An individual reading condition setting module 5 sets the reading condition for every attribute. A selective reading module 15, when reading the document, in principle, reads the text with reference to the basic reading condition set by the basic reading condition setting module, and selectively reads the text having the individual reading condition with reference to the individual reading condition given a higher priority than the basic reading condition.
