A device (1) for transmitting speech information to the human body,
comprising: a microphone (2) for inputting speech from an external
source; a speech signal processor (20) that produces a
consonant-clarified signal based on the input speech signal; a carrier
signal generator (6) that produces a carrier signal; an amplitude
modulator (8) that modulates the amplitude of the carrier signal based on
the consonant-clarified signal; and a vibrator (12) that transmits
mechanical vibrations based on the amplitude-modulated output signal; the
speech signal processor (20) comprising: a consonant extracting unit that
extracts the consonant parts from the speech signal; and a repetition
processing unit that adds the extracted consonant parts to the speech
signal to produce a consonant-clarified signal in which each of the
consonant parts of the speech signal is repeated two or more times. This
speech information transmitting device realizes good discriminability of
speech information.
