An apparatus for converting character data into audio data form includes a storage unit for storing the character data supplied, an operating unit manipulated by the user, and a control unit responsive to the entry of command from the operating unit for producing indicator data indicative of unwanted portions of the character data which are not required for conversion to audio data, comparing the indicator data with the character data read out from the storage unit, and converting the portion of the character data not corresponding to the indicator data into its audio data form. As the character data read out from the storage unit has been compared with the indicator data not indicative of the unwanted portions of the character data required for conversion to audio data, its dedicated portion not corresponding to the indicator data is converted into its audio data form. This allows the dedicated portion of the character data to be readily converted into its audio data form while aborting the unwanted portions of the character data, thus enabling quick acquisition of the information.
