A device for prosody generation at visual synthesis. A number of half-syllables are stored together with registered movement patterns in a face. When synthesizing speech, a number of half-syllables are put together into words and sentences. The words and sentences are given a stress and pattern of intonation corresponding to the intended language. In the face, a number of points and their movement patterns are further registered. In connection with the generation of words and sentences, the movement patterns of the different points are amplified depending on a given stress and sentence intonation. The given movement patterns are after that applied to a model, which is applied to a real face at which a life-like animation is obtained, at for instance a translation of a person's speech in a first language to a second language. |
