PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide voice guidance employing a simple method with voice that suits own liking. SOLUTION: A feature data extracting section 12 extracts feature data indicating features of voice quality from the voice of a specific person and the data are stored in a feature data storage section 13. A guidance text information storage section 17 stores text information corresponding to the contents of voice guidance of the system 1. A voice synthesis data storage section 15 stores voice waveform signals for each prescribed unit as data for voice synthesis. A voice quality converting section 14 converts the voice synthesis data read from the section 15 to voice synthesis data to synthesize the voice of the specific person corresponding to arbitrary feature data read from the section 13. A voice synthesis section 16 applies waveform process to the voice synthesis data that are converted by the section 14 and are corresponded to each unit constituting of the guidance text information so that smooth and linked uttered voice is obtained. |
