A computer readable medium from which a computer can read out a program enabling execution of an information communicating method for synthesizing a voice that is applicable to a system in which a first communicating apparatus and a second communicating apparatus are connected to a communication network, and in said first communicating apparatus, file information, including voice-generating information containing data for phonemes, meters, a type of voice tone, and an attribute of a voice tone as information, is previously stored in a file information storing section, and in said second communicating apparatus, voice tone data each indicating sound parameters for each raw voice element correlated to information indicating an attribute of the voice, is previously stored in a voice tone data storing section, and a voice is synthesized according to voice-generating information in the file information stored in said file information storing section as well as to voice tone data stored in said voice tone data storing section by executing data communications between said first communicating apparatus and said second communicating apparatus through said communication network, said program coprising: a sequence for transferring the file information stored in said file information storing section to said second communicating apparatus according to a request from said second communicating apparatus to said first communicating apparatus; and in said second communicating apparatus; a sequence for retrieving a type of voice tone in the voice-generating information of the file information transferred in said transferring step from a plurality of types of voice tone stored in said voice tone data storing section; a sequence for firstly selecting, in a case where a type of voice tone in said voice-generating information was obtained through retrieval in said retrieving step, voice tone data corresponding to the obtained type of voice tone from said plurality of types of voice tone data stored in said voice tone data storing section; a sequence for verifying, in a case where a type of voice tone in the voice-generating information was not obtained through retrieval in said retrieving step, information indicating an attribute of the voice tone in the voice-generating information stored in said file information storing section to information indicating attributes of various types of voice tone stored in said voice tone data storing section to obtain similarity of the voice tone; a sequence for secondly selecting voice tone data with the highest similarity from a plurality of types of voice tone data stored in said voice tone data storing section according to the similarity obtained in said verifying step; a sequence for developing meter patterns successively in the direction of a time axis according to said voice-generating information; and a sequence for reproducing a voice by generating a voice waveform according to the meter pattern developed in said developing step as well as to the voice tone data selected in said selecting step.

240. A computer readable medium according to claim 239, further comprising: the sequence of storing in said file information storing section first information indicating a reference for voice pitch in a state where the first information is included in said voice-generating information, and storing in said voice tone data storing section second information indicating a reference for voice pitch in a state where the second information is included in the voice tone data, and providing a reference for voice pitch when a voice is reproduced by shifting the reference for voice pitch based on said first information to the reference for voice pitch based on said second information in said voice reproducing step.

241. A computer readable medium according to claim 239, further comprising: the sequence of storing in said file information storing section first information indicating a reference for voice pitch in a state where the first information is included in said voice-generating information, and wherein said voice reproducing step includes an input step for inputting second information indicating a reference for voice pitch at an arbitrary point of time, and providing a reference for voice pitch when a voice is reproduced is decided by shifting the reference for voice pitch based on said first information to the reference for voice pitch based on the second information inputted in said input step.

242. A computer readable medium according to claim 239, further comprising: the sequence of connecting to said second communicating apparatus a detachable storage medium with voice tone data stored therein, reading out voice tone data from said storage medium and storing the voice tone data in said voice tone data storing section.

243. A computer readable medium according to claim 239, further comprising: the sequence of receiving by said second communicating apparatus voice tone data through a communication line from an external device and storing the voice tone data in said voice tone data storing section.
