Abstract
A candidate voice segment sequence generatorgenerates candidate voice segment sequencesfor an input language information sequenceby using DB voice segmentsin a voice segment database. An output voice segment sequence determinatorcalculates a degree of match between the input language information sequenceand each of the candidate voice segment sequencesby using a parametershowing a value according to a cooccurrence criterionfor cooccurrence between the input language information sequenceand a sound parameter showing the attribute of each of a plurality of candidate voice segments in each of the candidate voice segment sequences, and determines an output voice segment sequenceon the basis of the degree of match.
