Abstract
Electronic speech control apparatus that includes a circuit for establishing and changing over time a subject code and an utterance index. The subject code generally indicates one of a plurality of sets of utterances. The utterance index identifies an utterance of at least one word in the set indicated by the subject code. Combined with the circuit is another circuit responsive thereto for generating the utterance identified by the utterance index in the set indicated by the subject code. The apparatus also repeatedly computes an emotion and generates an utterance representing the emotion so computed. The various utterances are made in an alternating conversational fashion in response to a person's speech. These and other aspects of apparatus and method are described in greater detail herein.
