Abstract
A dictionary management apparatus is disclosed, which can optimize a dictionary required for speech synthesis of character data. The apparatus checks if character data which is to undergo speech conversion includes character data which is not registered in the dictionary. When the unregistered character data is included, the apparatus generates new dictionary data of that character data using another dictionary and adds the generated new dictionary data to the dictionary.
