Abstract:

A speech synthesizer according to an embodiment comprises a speech synthesizing unit (10), a speaker parameter storage unit (50), an availability determination unit (60), and a speaker parameter control unit (40). The speech synthesizing unit (10) can control the speaker property of a synthesized sound on the basis of a speaker parameter value representing a parameter value relating to the speaker property. The speaker parameter storage unit (50) stores a speaker parameter value that is already registered. The availability determination unit (60) determines the availability of the input speaker parameter value on the basis of comparing the input speaker parameter value and each registered speaker parameter value. The speaker parameter control unit (40) forbids or restricts the use of a speaker parameter value that is unavailable according to the availability determination unit (60).
