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.
