Abstract
In the text-to-speech synthesis technique for synthesizing speech from text, this invention enables a terminal device with relatively small computing power to perform speech synthesis based on optimal unit selection. The text-to-speech synthesis procedure of the present invention involves content generation and output; that is, a secondary content including the results of the optimal unit selection process is output. By virtue of the secondary content, a high load process of selecting optimal units and a light load process of synthesizing speech waveforms can be performed separately. The optimal unit selection process is performed at a server and information for the units to be retrieved from a corpus is sent to the terminal as data for speech synthesis.
