Abstract

Ce dispositif comporte une pastille de synthèse de parole du type MOS dont la surface active est de l'ordre de 40 mm**2. Cette pastille comporte un filtre numérique, un circuit d'excitation de sons sonores ou sourds, un circuit d'interpolation de paramètre de parole, un décodeur de paramètre d'entrée, un convertisseur numérique-analogique et des circuits de synchronisation. La machine ou le jeu comporte également un microprocesseur qui en commande le fonctionnement. Le convertisseur numérique-analogique attaque un petit haut-parleur, et un clavier et un dispositif d'affichage sont également prévus. L'invention s'applique notamment à l'enseignement de l'orthographe.This device comprises a MOS-type speech synthesis patch, the active area of which is of the order of 40 mm ** 2. This chip includes a digital filter, a sound or deaf sound excitation circuit, a speech parameter interpolation circuit, an input parameter decoder, a digital-to-analog converter and synchronization circuits. The machine or game also includes a microprocessor which controls its operation. The digital-to-analog converter drives a small speaker, and a keyboard and display are also provided. The invention applies in particular to the teaching of spelling.
