Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel communication system utilizing a speech synthesis method. SOLUTION: A signal transmission side apparatus has means for predicting meter parameters of phoneme series corresponding to inputted text and retrieving the combinations of the phoneme units to minimize the distortion when the phoneme units nearest the predicted meter patterns and accumulated in a speech waveform data base are connected and means for forming the waveform connection data consisting of the index information corresponding to the combinations of the retrieved phoneme units and sending the data to a signal reception side apparatus.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable home page readers and telephone users to listen to information on weather forecasts, etc., as speech because a speech synthesis server 12 receives the text data of the information on the weather forecasts, etc., from an information source 14 and forms synthesized speech data by using, for example, CHATR in accordance with therewith and delivers the data to Web servers 16 and telephone servers 18 which are delivery destinations. SOLUTION: The respective servers are able to provide diversified services without the need for discretely installing speech synthesizers to the Web servers and telephone servers and without increasing running costs.
