PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To replace a text of a written language with an expression of a spoken language, and to read out with an intonation sounding like the spoken language. SOLUTION: A text conversion part 103 compares an input text with a text conversion rule table 104, and converts a corresponding word row into an expression of a spoken language. In this case, code information for specifying rhythm information of the converted part is added. And, the rhythm information prepared especially for the spoken language is added to the part converted into the spoken language in a rhythm information control part 105, and through a voice waveform synthesizing part 103 and a voice output part 109, a read-out synthesized voice is outputted with an intonation sounding like the spoken language. |
