ABSTRACT:
A speech synthesizing apparatus for varying a speech characteristic condition is adapted to accept a speech request that does not have a speech characteristic condition and to synthesize a speech responsive thereto. A controlling portion accepts a plurality of speech requests; a speech synthesizing portion switches a plurality of speech characteristics for speech synthesis; a speaker outputs a speech corresponding to an output signal of the speech synthesizing portion; and a synthesizer characteristic table stores speech characteristic conditions synthesized by the speech synthesizing portion. The controlling portion can accept a speech request that does not have a speech characteristic condition. Then, the controlling portion selects an available speech characteristic condition from a synthesizer characteristic table and sends the selected speech characteristic condition to the speech synthesizer. While requirements of each speech request are satisfied, the user can be prevented from confusing the synthesized speech with other speech.
