Abstract:
1. A mobile terminal device having an audio readout function, said mobile terminal device comprising: a storage unit for storing texts in accordance with readout items; an audio alarm generation unit for generating an audio alarm; a text-to-speech unit for converting a text to speech data; an audio output unit for outputting said speech data or said audio alarm; an operation unit able to point out a skip operation by recognizing break positions specific for e-mail including at least any one of a reception date, sender, and subject among contents and a skip-back operation to thereby select readout items, and to instruct a readout; and a control unit for executing a readout processing in accordance with the operation by the operation unit at the time of readout, said readout processing including: a first control processing of outputting said audio alarm at said audio output unit, executing an extraction of a text from the storage unit in accordance with a text rule, and making a conversion of the extracted text to a speech data at the text-to-speech unit, and outputting the converted speech data when outputting said speech data at said audio output unit; and a second control processing of executing an extraction of a text from the storage unit in accordance with a text rule, and making a conversion of the extracted text to a speech data at the text-to-speech unit, and outputting the converted speech data without outputting said audio alarm at said audio output unit, wherein the control unit starts the readout in the second control processing when the readout is instructed, an operation of a key generates a signal, and the control unit determines one of the skip operation and the skip-back operation based on a number of times the signal is generated within a predetermined period of time.
