ABSTRACT:
A device and method in which polyphones of speech of a first language is received and stored as well as a movement pattern in a person's face and/or body is registered. The registration of the movement pattern is made by measuring movement at a number of measuring points in the face/body of the speaker, where the measurements are made at the same time that the polyphones are registered. In connection with translation of a person's speech from one language into another, the polyphones and corresponding movement patterns in the face are linked up to a movement model in the face. A picture image of a face of the real person is after that pasted over the model, at which one to the language corresponding movement pattern is obtained. The invention consequently gives the impression that the person really speaks the language in question.
