Abstract

A method which is capable of performing an operation of creating a sentence and an operation of adjusting a voice attribute at the same time.
If a key for embedding an embedding command into an unsettled character string is pushed with the state where the unsettled character string has been displayed after kana-kanji conversion, the voice attribute information held by a voice attribute information input section 115 is embedded in the form of an embedded command into the unsettled character string. Also, if a key for instructing voice synthesis is pushed with this state, voice synthesis is performed according to the embedded voice attribute information.
