A method and system for producing a printed text. A system operates in accordance with the method to: receive a message signal created by an author and representative of the semantic content of a printed text; produce a text signal in response to the message signal; analyze the message signal to determine a non-semantic indicator of the author's state of mind; determine a non-semantic characteristic of the printed text as a function of the determined non-semantic indicator; and printing the printed text in response to the text signal and the determined characteristic. The message signal can be a voice signal. A physiological signal such as pulse rate or variations in the pace, volume, tremulation, or average wavelength of the author's speech can also be used to determine the author's state of mind. In another embodiment of the invention, a system operates to input a message signal; generate a text signal representative of the printed text; analyze the message signal to determine a non-semantic indicator of the author's state of mind; map a state of mind indicator vector comprising the determined non-semantic indicator into an actual state of mind vector; and determine a non-semantic characteristic of the printed text as a function of the actual state of mind vector; and to print the text in accordance with the text signal and the determined non-semantic characteristic.
