Abstract
According to one embodiment, a speech learning apparatus includes a detection unit, a first calculation unit, a generation unit, an addition unit and a speech synthesis unit. The first calculation unit calculates a score indicating a degree of emphasis of a keyword based on a type of the marker and a manner of selecting the keyword. The generation unit generates a synthesis parameter to determine a degree of reading of the keyword in accordance with the score and the type of the marker. The addition unit adds to the keyword a tag for reading the keyword in accordance with the synthesis parameter. The speech synthesis unit generates synthesized speech obtained by synthesizing speech of the keyword in accordance with the tag.
