摘要：<p>An electronic learning aid includes a scanning means for reading coded indicia which control the sound generated by the apparatus via a speech synthesis system. The apparatus operates to generate sound effects as follows. The coded indicia is read (101) and identified as calling for a sound effect (102). The coded indicia includes prosody data and identification of a sound effect allophone. The prosody data is employed to set control parameters (104) and the proper synthesis data is accessed corresponding to the sound effect allophone (105) so that the apparatus may speak the desired sound effect (106). The coded indicia may also include a repeat command and a repeat number. If the coded indicia includes such a repeat command (107) the sound effect allophone is repeatedly spoken the indicated number of times (108). Provision of prosody data along with speech element identifying data enables the learning aid to produce a greater and more pleasing variety of sounds from the same stored speech data corresponding to sound effects. In addition the repeat command permits the learning aid to generate relatively long sound effects from short coded indicia.</p>
