摘要： An electronic news receiving device receives text data for an electronic edition of a newspaper in the evening and audibly reads the newspaper to the user the next day. The newsreader includes a receiver which receives an electronic edition of a newspaper transmitted by a transmitter at an electronic news preparer's facility. The news preparer may mark words that do not conform to conventional letter-to-sound rules with a pronunciation flag and provide pronunciation data for the words with the electronic edition of the newspaper. The data may be compressed by providing a dictionary in the news receiving device and, at the preparer's facility, translating each word into a dictionary address. The transmission channel may include a telephone line, the vertical blanking interval of a television signal, a cable television channel, an AM/FM subcarrier signal or a satellite channel. The received electronic edition of the newspaper is processed by a section filter to retain desired sections of the newspaper and to discard unwanted sections. The retained news articles are stored in memory. A text-to-speech converter produces an audible output corresponding to the spoken text of the news articles. A user can input one or more keywords to cause the device to selectively read articles containing the keywords. The text to speech converter of the device uses rules and a dictionary to provide syntactic and semantic prosody for morpheme reconstructions. The user may determine which articles are read and may vary the rate at which articles are read using manual controls or spoken commands.
摘要翻译：电子新闻接收装置在晚上接收报纸的电子版的文本数据，并在第二天向用户收听报纸。新闻阅读器包括在电子新闻编辑者的设施处接收由发射机发送的报纸的电子版的接收机。新闻编辑人员可以用不符合常规字母对声音规则的单词标记发音标志，并为报纸的电子版提供与单词相关的发音数据。可以通过在新闻接收装置中提供字典来压缩数据，并且在准备者的设施处，将每个单词翻译成字典地址。传输信道可以包括电话线，电视信号的垂直消隐间隔，有线电视频道，AM / FM子载波信号或卫星频道。收到的报纸电子版由分段过滤器处理，以保留报纸的期望部分，并丢弃不需要的部分。保留的新闻文章存储在内存中。文本到语音转换器产生对应于新闻文章的口头文本的可听输出。用户可以输入一个或多个关键字，使设备有选择地阅读含有关键词的文章。设备的文本到语音转换器使用规则和字典来为语素重构提供语法和语义韵律。用户可以确定哪些物品被读取，并且可以使用手动控制或口头命令改变物品被读取的速率。
