ABSTRACT:
When a voice button is pressed after selection of a desired sentence example, a CPU causes a musical note mark to be displayed on a display. If the selected sentence example is one for the opposite sex, the CPU reads out speech data (in a voice of a person of the opposite sex) corresponding to the selected sentence example from a ROM, and causes the readout speech data to be outputted in voice form from a speaker. The selected sentence example is displayed in parenthesis, to show the user that the displayed sentence is for the opposite sex. If the selected sentence example is not one for the opposite sex, the CPU reads out speech data (in a voice of a person of the same sex) corresponding to the selected sentence example from the ROM, and causes the readout speech data to be outputted in voice form from the speaker. Alternatively, speech data corresponding to sentence examples for the opposite sex are not stored in the ROM, and therefore are not outputted in voice form.
