Abstract

Text to be spoken by a speaker, e.g. a newsreader, and held in a store, is displayed on a display which is seen by the speaker through a partially-reflecting mirror,mounted in front of a television camera. The text is scrolled up as the speaker speaks, this being achieved automatically by a controller. The controller recognizes the spoken speech picked up by a microphone, using speech recognition techniques, and matches the spoken text with the stored text to be spoken. The speed at which the text is spoken is thus determined and used by positioning circuit to adjust the rate at which the text scrolls up on the display. If the speech recognition fails, the text continues to be changed at a rate dependent upon the previous rate of change.
