摘要

An information transmitting apparatus and an intermediate receiving apparatus are adapted to deliver transformed information obtained by transforming the text information of an electronic mail into intermediate language information as voicing information. The transmitting apparatus generates intermediate language information on the basis of the text data received by the transmitting apparatus and also transformed information on the basis of the intermediate language information and transmits the information to the receiving apparatus. Upon receiving the transformed information, the receiving apparatus retrieves at least the intermediate language data from the received transformed data, carries out an operation of voice synthesis on the basis of the retrieved intermediate language data and outputs the synthesized voice. Thus, the volume of data to be transmitted can be remarkably reduced if compared with the volume of data of a sound signal that should be transmitted for the voiced information. Then, the transmission time required for providing a service of voiced information can be reduced so that the transformed information can be delivered quickly to the user.
