Abstract
The operater controlled bilingual or multilingual toy is a toy, such as a doll, with a programmable controllable voice synthesizer. The circuit of the toy, when activated, synthesizes a first random phase selected from a bank of phrases. When activated a second time the circuit of the toy will reproduce that first phrase as a translated phrase in a second language. After a specified elapse of time, or a continued reactivation within a specified period of time, this process is repeated by the choice of a second, third, and so forth randomly accessed phases. Each of the phrases is followed by a translation of that phases. If neither the manual switch or a second motion switch is operator activated within a predetermined time, the toy will turn itself off.
