(57) The invention relates to a speech synthesizer comprising a converting means (20,
30) for converting the input sequence of characters to a sequence of articulation
symbols corresponding to a unit speech waveform which is obtained by dividing a diphone,
a memory (80) for storing said unit speech waveform corresponding to the predetermined
articulation symbols, and a synthesizing means (60, 70) for reading said unit speech
waveforms corresponding to said articulation symbols of the converted sequence of
articulation symbols from said memory (80) and synthesizing them. The speech synthesizer
requires a comparatively small memory capacity and provides synthesized speech of
high quality.
