Abstract
A speech reproducing device includes a data processing unit for processing a received radio frequency signal to generate speech data, a memory for storing the speech data on a basis of several speech frames, each having a predetermined length, a speech decoding unit for decoding speech data stored in the memory to generate a speech signal, a speech reproducing unit for reproducing and outputting speech based on a generated decoded speech signal and a telephone control unit for controlling operation of each unit to read speech frames in the memory while appropriately thinning out them as necessary to reproduce speech.
