PURPOSE:To easily vary an accent and a voicing speed into a desired state by inputting a control character which instructs variations in accent and voicing speed at the time of text input operation together with a text. CONSTITUTION:An input analysis part 1 when setting the accent and a assumed beat synchronous point sets the accent and assumed beat synchronous point for each more and sends them to a pitch generation part 3. When an accent is set in the input text, 'HA/SHI' for 'bridge' in JAPANESE and '/HAYenSHI' for 'chopsticks' in JAPANESE are inputted as, for example, a TOKYO accent. The accent is controlled with control characters '/' and 'Yen'. The accent is raised by one unit with '/' and lowered by one unit with 'Yen'. Further, the accent is raised by two units with '//' and raised by one unit with '//Yen' and '/Yen/'. Consequently, the accent and voicing speed can easily be varied into a desired state. |
