JPH0855461A - Character reader having recording medium near character - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To listen to the ways of reading, meaning, etc., of the characters and sentences with which a paper surface are printed. CONSTITUTION:This character reader has sound recording media ((a) of 2 and (b) of 2 of Fig.) recorded with the ways of reading, meaning, etc., near the characters and sentences with which the paper surface is printed as shown in selection Fig. These recording media are traced by a reproducing head of a sound recording and reproducing machine to be exclusively used, by which the sound of the ways of reading or meaning, etc., are produced. This device is used for a text book of language, etc. Then, a learner is able to easily and repetitively listen to the ways of reading, meaning, etc., by directly tracing the sound recording media near the characters and sentences that the learner is going to learn by himself. The device is thus effective for learning.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Object of the Invention The present invention relates to a mechanism for listening to the reading and meaning of printed characters. For example, according to the present invention, a language learner traces a recording medium provided (applied / pasted, etc.) on a paper surface near a character of a text with a reproducing head of a dedicated recording / reproducing device of the present invention, thereby You can hear the pronunciation directly.

(2) Conventional Technology and Disadvantages Conventionally, as a mechanism for converting a character into a voice, there is a method in which a printed matter and a recording tape recording the content thereof are combined. And as a device using these, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 14520/1975
There are technologies such as No. 5 and Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 55-2627. However, these are total recording / playback mechanisms for one unit or one page of sentences, and cannot directly meet the request of the learner who wants to hear the pronunciation of any place or word in the sentence. There is. Also, the tape must be rewound for repeated listening. Other technologies include Sony's "Barcode Repeater (CDL-500)" and "CD Repeater (CDH-10) that use CDs.
0) ”is a special remote controller with a bar code reading function that traces the bar code printed on the text of the software to call the point to be played, but the bar code is a word in the text. Since it does not correspond to, the pronunciation of the word cannot be heard immediately. Moreover, both the operation and the mechanism are complicated and expensive.

(3) Structure of the present invention The present invention makes up for the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional techniques.
The pronunciation of any part or word in the sentence specified by the learner can be immediately answered by voice, and it is possible to easily listen repeatedly without having to rewind the tape.
The figure is an overall perspective view of the present invention. The numeral 1 in the figure indicates an arbitrary page of a book provided with a recording medium near the character. 2a and 2a are the recording media (Examples, in which an undercoat layer is applied on the paper surface and a magnetic material is applied thereon),
A is the pronunciation, and A is the recorded meaning. Reference numeral 3 is a dedicated recording / reproducing device, and 4 is a reproducing head of the dedicated recording / reproducing device 3. The reproducing head in a normal recording / reproducing device is taken out of the device, and a sound signal is obtained by tracing a recording medium. . 5 is a reproducing amplifier (not shown) in the main body and a reproducing head 4
Is the code that concatenates.

(4) Method of use and effect of the present invention By using the present invention for language texts and the like, the learner traces the recording medium 2 near a desired sentence or word with the reproducing head 4 to pronounce them. And can easily hear the meaning. Moreover, it is not necessary to rewind the recording tape, and you can repeatedly listen to the pronunciation of the same part simply by tracing with the playback head.

(5) Other Embodiments A motor that is built in the reproducing head 4 and a roller that is rotated by a deceleration transmission device for the rotation thereof are attached to the bottom surface of the reproducing head 4 so that the user can attach the reproducing head 4 to a recording medium on paper. When the roller is brought into close contact with the roller 2, the roller also comes into close contact with the paper surface and rotates, whereby a mechanism for keeping the tracing speed at the reproduction speed can be obtained. As a method of equipping the recording medium, there is also a method of attaching an existing magnetic tape.

[Brief description of drawings]

The figure is an overall perspective view of the present invention. 1 is an arbitrary page of a book with a recording medium that records the pronunciation and meaning of the character on the side of the paper. 2a and 2a are recording media, a is the pronunciation of the character, and i is Recorded meaning of characters 3 is a dedicated recording / playback device 4 is a playback head of the dedicated recording / playback device 3 is a playback amplifier and playback head 4 in the dedicated recording / playback device 3
Code to concatenate
