ABSTRACT:
A computer system in which the sounds of different speech messages are stored or synthesized, the system being adapted to reproduce a selected speech message and to impart emotional expressivity thereto whose character depends on the user's choice. To this end, stored in the system is a set of sentograms whose respective wave forms reflect different emotions, the selected speech message being reproduced, being modulated as a function of the wave form of the sentogram in the set selected by the user whereby the reproduced speech message is emotionally colored and therefore has a human quality.
