ABSTRACT:
A server, which transmits phonetic-sound information to a plurality of client machines and reproduces the transmitted phonetic-sound information, includes a storage unit for storing a plurality of pieces of voiced phonetic-sound information whose contents are voices of a plurality of speakers in a conversation made up of the voices of the plurality of speakers. The server also includes a timing determining unit for determining reproduction timing of the plurality of pieces of voiced phonetic-sound information, and a transmitting unit for transmitting the voiced phonetic-sound information which is applicable to each client machine, so that its reproduction is executed in the reproduction timing determined by the timing determining unit.
