The reception part,outputs the text and the header of the received electronic mail to the voice synthesizing part,. The voice font switching part,outputs the sander ID contained in the header to the voice font searching part,. The voice font searching part,searches the voice feature data in the voice font database part,to have voice feature data in which the user ID contained in the header of the voice feature data matches the sender ID sent to the rhythm control part,and the voice generating part,. The rhythm control part,, the voice generating part,and the voice output part,read the content of the text in a voice feature indicated by the phonemes contained in the supplied voice feature data and generates a voice signal characterized by rhythm data contained in the header of the voice feature data for output.

A conversion function for a large Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary. According to the present invention, a Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary is prepared together as a program that includes a search function. Especially in an operating system that supports a dynamic link library routine (DLL), a Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary program is compiled as a DLL, and the dictionary search function is exported so that it can be employed by another program to be usable.

A GUI permits an object to be selected without using a click button, and can be easily operated with few erroneous operations. When a user wants to select an upper scroll button 20, the user brings a pointer 32 in contact with the button 20. When the pointer 32 is moved (step 120) and contacts the scroll button 20 (step 140), the scroll button 20 is reduced by four dots toward the frame side, and the movable range of the pointer 32 is increased by four dots (step 150). The user continues to move the pointer 32 to the scroll button 20 side (step 170). When the pointer 32 contacts the scroll button 20 again (step 190), the scroll button 20 is reduced by four dots, and the movable range of the pointer 32 is increased by four dots again (150). This operation is repeated. Finally, when a count has exceeded a specific value, 3 (step 210), a depression event for the scroll button 20 is transmitted to an application program (step 220), which in turn performs scrolling of the display area (step 230).

A data processing apparatus for generating a desired color image by use of an easy user interface. The user interface includes a screen and an input apparatus having at least a pointer control apparatus. The pointer control apparatus is used for controlling the position of a pointer on the screen, coloring the pointer in a first color in response to the input apparatus, moving the pointer to a desired position on the screen in response to the pointer control apparatus, and changing the color of an area pointed by the pointer, in response to the input apparatus, into the color which is under the influence of the first color.
