Abstract
A spelling learning aid in which an operator orally establishes the words and tactily establishes the correct spelling for later testing by the learning aid. In the preferred embodiment, the operator states words which are analyzed and synthesis control data is derived therefrom. This synthesis control data is combined with the operator inputted correct spelling, typically entered through a keyboard arrangement, and stored within the electronic apparatus. A plurality of words is preferably stored; the apparatus selectively withdraws one of the sets of synthesis control data with spelling and enunciates the word, using the synthesis control data via a synthesizer. The operator is able to attempt a spelling and have the attempt checked with the correct spelling previously stored within the apparatus. In this fashion the apparatus is able to be updated and varied according to operator desires so as to match the spelling requirements of the particular operator.
