ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for automatically providing background music for a card message recording system thereby to enhance the feature of a conventional card recording system. The invention mainly comprises a speech analyzer, a memory, a speech synthesizer, a melody generator, a mixer and a speaker. At recording mode, the message is processed in speech analyzer and then stored in the memory. At playing mode, the message is read and processed in speech synthesizer. Then the mixer reads the message and the background music at proper time intervals such that when the volume of the message is increased, the volume of the musical signals fades and vice versa. Consequently, the mixed signals are played out by the speaker.
