Abstract
Method and apparatus for extracting text from a structured data file and generating synthesized speech in accordance with the extracted text includes a processor for executing stored process steps, a storage device for storing structured data files partitioned into plural types of fields and for storing process steps for execution by the processor, an interface device for accepting a dual tone modulated frequency signal, each dual tone modulated frequency signal representing an operation selection, and a text-to-speech convertor for converting synthesized speech corresponding to a field of a structured data field. The processor selects a structured data file in accordance with a first dual tone modulated frequency operation selection, extracts selected fields from the structured data file in accordance with the stored process steps, generates identification labels for the extracted fields, and controllably outputs the extracted field to the text-to-speech convertor in accordance with a second dual tone modulated frequency operation selection.
