Abstract
A voice synthesis system includes the use of a group of representative sound data for synthesizing voice data. A ROM circuit in the system includes a multilevel address system that stores starting addresses of the representative sound data. The memory capacity required for storing the representative voice data synthesized is reduced by accessing nondistinguishable data through a multilevel address system.
