Abstract
An electronic cash register includes a synthetic speech sound generation system for providing an audible announcement of the total amount of the transaction when the transaction assigned to a specific customer is completed. When a clerk introduces money information concerning the amount handed from the customer, the audible announcement is generated from the synthetic speech sound generation system for announcing the money received from the customer. The electronic cash register calculates the change which should be handed to the customer, and the change is also audibly announced. Moreover, the synthetic speech sound generation system provides an audible announcement of 'Thank you for your patronage.' when the transaction for the specific customer is completed.
