An Annunciator 1 is a portable device that includes Text-to-Speech and Speech Synthesis modules, which is connected (Fig 1) to a mobile station (MS) 2 and an audio device (AD) 3. The Annunciator can read ASCII messages (that are in a defined format such as GSM 07.07) received at the MS (these include short message service (SMS) messages) and convert them to speech. The Annunciator can therefore allow the user to listen, via an audio device, to the ASCII messages being read. This may be carried out independently of any received encoding schemes set in the message header. The speech output is possible in SMS peer-to-peer service or in SMS cell broadcast service. The Annunciator, an external to the MS device, may include the audio device, a microcontroller and wireless interface connections to the MS and AD. It may also include a storage medium and an on-the-fly language translation module. |
