Abstract: The present invention relates to the provision of natural-soundingphonemes and accents for text. There is provided a system that outputs phonemes and accents of texts.The system has a storage section storing a first corpus in which spellings, phonemes, and accents of a text input beforehand are recorded separately for individual segmentations of the words that are contained in the text. A text for which phonemes and accents are to be output is acquired and the first corpus is searched to retrieve at least one set of spellings that match the spellings in the text from among sets of contiguous spellings. Then, the combination of a phoneme and an accent that has a higher probability of occurrence in the first corpus than a predetermined reference probability is selected as the phonemes and accent of the text.
