Systems and methods for voice synthesis are disclosed for providing a synthesized
voice message that is consonant with the taste of a customer and a program storage
device readable by machine to perform method steps for voice synthesis. In accordance
with an order from a customer received via a network, a service provider generates
voice synthesis data, based on voice characteristic data for a speaker chosen by
the customer, that is produced for a sentence input by the customer, and prepares
to deliver the voice synthesis data to the customer. At this time, a transaction
number is provided for the order received from the customer, and subsequently,
when the transaction number is presented by the customer, the generated voice synthesis
data are delivered to the customer. The customer then loads the received voice
synthesis data into a device that reproduces the voiced sentence.
