PURPOSE:To clearly represent the intention represented in a text by extracting an emphasis part in the text, and emphasizing and outputting the speech of the extracted emphasis part. CONSTITUTION:An emphasis detection part 3 detects emphasis information described in the text which is outputted from a text input part 1 and outputs it to an emphasis level conversion part 4. Further, a parameter conversion value determination part 5 converts the emphasis level outputted by the emphasis level conversion part 4 into a physical parameter and outputs the parameter conversion value to an emphasis processing part 7 together with emphasis position information. Then a text speech conversion part 6 collates the text contents outputted from a text memory 2 with a previously stored dictionary to grant pronunciation and rhythm information, and combines previously stored phonemes for the pronunciation to generate a speech parameter. The emphasis processing part 7 performs emphasis processing for the speech parameter by using the emphasis position information and parameter conversion value from the speech parameter conversion part 5. |
