Abstract
A server acquires a web page corresponding to the URL that a client registers, and detects new text (to be referred to as new information hereinafter) inserted in that web page. The server converts the detected new information into one of a character string, phonetic character string, and synthetic speech, and delivers it to the client. The client receives the new information delivered from the server, converts it into synthetic speech, and outputs the synthetic speech.
