PURPOSE:To synthesize and express a natural voice by designating a range and adopting different reading with respect to a KANJI (Chinese character) of its part, in a sentence reader for outputting a KANJI and KANA (Japanese syllabary) mixed sentence in a voice. CONSTITUTION:A sentence by a KANJI and KANA mixed sentence inputted from an input/output display device 1 is sent to a sentence accumulating part 4 and stored in the sentence accumulating part 4 by an input/output control part 3 and a main control part 2. A language processing part 5 reads out the sentence from the sentence accumulating part 4, divides it into analytic units, executes a language analysis at every analytic word and replaces the language with the information of a phonetic symbol and a meter symbol. An acoustic processing part 6 synthesizes a sound signal from the phonetic symbol and the meter symbol, and outputs a voice from a loudspeaker 7. Also, with regard to the sentence concerned, as for the sentence whose reading or meter is incorrect, or the sentence being different from a user's intention, the original sentence is displayed on a display screen from the input/output display device 1, the range is designated by a cursor, and the phonetic symbol and the meter symbol which are intended are inputted in advance. |
