The speech synthesizer generates signals for a loudspeaker on the basis of symbols defining the words to be reproduced. In accordance with the invention, the same speech synthesizer is provided with means for processing symbols of three different types, i.e.: a type representing phonetically the elements of a word to be reproduced, or a type formed by a number designating a quantity or the designation of a major route, or a type formed by a number designating a sequence prestored in a memory of the speech synthesizer and corresponding to a phrase part. A series of symbols arriving at the speech synthesizer comprises successive sequences of symbols which are arranged end to end, said sequences being of three types, a type recognition character ($, |, +E,cir +EE ) being placed at each end of a sequence of a given type. |
