ABSTRACT:
A device for automatic translation of natural language words into corresponding visual images has an addressable video disc memory storing a large number of images, an image dictionary memory for storing the video disc addresses for sets of images for respective natural language words along with information controlling the selection and display of the respective images, and a computer for addressing the image diictionary memory and interpreting the selection and display information. The translation device is advantageously used in an audio-visual presentation system which also includes a speech synthesizer and a multiple display synchronized to the pronunciation of the speech synthesizer. Preferably, the selection of images is responsive to viewer preferences and the context of the translated words, and redundancy of image presentation is eliminated by random or indexed selection.
