Abstract
Method and apparatus for scripting a multimedia presentation in accordance with a multimedia script file. The multimedia script file includes text narration and multimedia scripting commands which are set off from the text narration by action tokens. A processor serially and sequentially processes the multimedia script file so as to detect the multimedia scripting commands when an action token is encountered. The text narration in the multimedia script file is fed to a text-to-speech conversion interface. The multimedia scripting commands are executed so as to cause file access such as retrieval and multimedia display of MIDI music files, still video and motion video images, animated images, and digital audio wave files, so as to alter the text-to-speech characteristics of the text-to-speech converter, and so as to cause multimedia script branching and/or control, preferably based on operator input and/or arithmetic calculations.
