ABSTRACT:
An electronic cash register system includes an input keyboard and a high-speed computer which outputs through a buffer to a low-speed speech synthesizer. To avoid loss of data due to buffer overfill, a speech condition determination unit generates a control signal if the empty-condition of the buffer falls below a threshold. In one embodiment the control signal speeds up the speech synthesizer clock. In a second embodiment the keyboard is disabled.
