  • the processing means it is desirable for the processing means to be adapted to be programmed with the users name (forename or both forename and surname), entered via the keyboard during a prearranged start-up programme, so that thereafter, when the equipment is first used after a downtime, the soft toy speaks that name in an initial greeting to the user.
  • the learning process is greatly enhanced if there is.an association between learning and play, and using a soft toy as a component of didactic equipment will put the learner at ease and heighten the play aspect of the learning process without detracting from the value of the latter.
  • a teddy bear is a particularly convenient toy for use with the invention, and the only component which need be incorporated in the bear is a loudspeaker connected to externally accessible terminal means for wiring teddy to the processing means and the remainder of the voicing means when the full equipment .is to be used.

  • Figure 2 shows one typical page in a first reading book 4 which includes printed matter 6 and bar codes 7a and 7b.

  • the simple equipment shown in Figure 1 can be greatly expanded, and some of the additional units that can be used with the equipment described thus far, are shown dotted in Figure 3. These include a digitising pad (per ⁇ mitting the development of writing skills), a visual display unit (permitting the writing or keyboarding of lengthy passages), a number cruncher (permitting mathe ⁇ matical questions to be posed to a user), a printer (for producing hard copy output), and a modulator for feeding the output of the computer to a ' elevision set or a video recorder.

  • the next group of codes 31 represent the address in the computer memory where the instructions for making the loudspeaker 2 articulate the required word are stored (this mechanism will be more fully des ⁇ cribed later).
  • the next- group of codes 32 are the pro ⁇ gramme instructions for calling up the display of the required word on the visual display 3b and the final code (which can again be a group of bars) 33 is the finish code to put the computer 3 back into a waiting condition for the next set of instructions. If the finish code 33 is not received in a pre-set time from reading of the initialisation code 30 (or if the initialisation code is not the first code read), the device indicates in some way (preferably by getting teddy to articulate a "try-again" instruction) that a new attempt at reading the code is required.
  • the computer uses two memory banks for the speech synthe- sising operation, a first bank which assigns each word in its vocabulary to a specific address and a second bank which contains the information for a large number of different primitive "utterances".
  • Speech synthesisers usually rely on storing speech either as complete words (analysed by various means such as linear predictive coding or plain amplitude/time or frequency/time analysis of the required waveforms) or on building up words from sound components termed phonemes.
  • the storage of the information for synthesising . complete words uses relatively large amounts of memory space (which may be a less important disadvantage as memory capacities increase with developing technology) but more importantly only those words originally analysed and built into a memory chip can be accessed.
  • To modify the vocabulary- of a memory chip using full word storage thus involves a major reanalysis and reprogramming of the speech synthesis chip.
  • Speech synthesisers that build up words from phonemes allow a large potential vocabulary and the density of word storage is high. • However, as assessed by those skilled in the art, known phoneme banks are not capable of offering good speech quality.
  • a speech synthesising system that synthesises the speech from primitive utter ⁇ ances termed "primitives".
  • Primitives are a composite collection of parts of sounds, complete sounds, phonemes and parts of words.
  • the instructions to cause the loud ⁇ speaker to "utter" each primitive are stored in a memory bank addressed by a speech synthesiser microprocessor. Instructions to the speech synthesiser microprocessor call up the required primitives i the required order, and with the required delay between separate call ups. This arrangement allows 2000 words to be stored In 64K of memory.
  • the bank of primitives is constant for any given language or dialect and the system is thus capable of affording great flexibility to the equipment allowing new words to be added to the computer's vocabulary by bar code entry and permits much simpler bar codes (such as 7a. or 7b) to be used on the text, since the bar code merely addresses the word bank in the main microprocessor and does not directly have to address the many locations in the bank of primitives.
  • Shorter bar codes are important not just to facili ⁇ tate their printing,but to reduce the risk of incorrect reading using the hand-held reader 5. Small children (and disabled persons) would find difficulty in traversing long codes at the required steady speed but can easily manage the shorter codes envisaged by preferred embodi ⁇ ments of equipment according to this invention. If all the call up instructions for the sounds required for even quite simple words are bar coded, the codes can require over 100 bars.
  • the speech synthesiser can be pre-programmed (e.g. via the reader 5 and/or the keyboard 3a) to articulate the input as alphabetical pronunciation of individual letters, phonetic pronunciation or pronunciation of the full word .

  • the microprocessor 10 is also linked to a speech microprocessor. 14 which in turn, via a- second address multiplexer 15, is connected to a second high capacity ROM 16.
  • the ROM 16 contains the instructions for generating around 2000 different primitives, each primitive having a different address in the ROM.
  • the speech microprocessor 14 is connected to an amplifier 17 which powers the loudspeaker 2.
  • speech microprocessor 14 is dedicated solely to looking up the required primitives according to the instructions received from the main microprocessor 10.

  • instructions can be entered into the microprocessor 10 to cause the typed characters to be presented on the display 3b, and to actuate the speech microprocessor 14 to articulate either alphabetically, phonetically, or the full word ⁇ typed.

  • a further desirable feature of didactic equipment in accordance with the invention is the ability to use the reader 5 in association with specially printed bar codes to provide suitable sound effects to heighten a user's interest in the text being read (e.g. animal noises).
  • the invention can also be used with braille text and the previous references to "printed text" should be taken to include the projections which form braille letters. Since the user of braille text will probably not see the location of the bar codes, these are desirably located just above a line of braille letters so that a reader 5, attached to the "reading" finger of a user, will naturally traverse the bar codes as the text is "read”.
