Abstract:
A speech synthesis system for receiving input information from navigational equipment and for producing selected audio output signals associated with the input information. The system includes a receiver for receiving input information from the navigational equipment, a temporary storage unit for storing at least a portion of the input information, a permanent storage unit for storing predetermined audio output information associated with portions of the input information, a control unit and an output signal generating unit. The control unit is in communication with the receiver and the temporary and permanent storage units. The control unit selects the predetermined audio output information within the permanent storage unit associated with portions of the input information. The output signal generating unit is in communication with the control unit for producing an output signal responsive to the predetermined audio output information.
