Abstract

See full text

A system for generating multimedia information including audio information, video information, or both is disclosed. The system includes an interface, a text converter, and a first multimedia dictionary. The interface is suitable for receiving a text-based message, such as an email message, from a transmission medium, such as the internet. The text converter is configured to receive the text-based message from the interface. The converter is adapted to decompose the words of the text-based message into their component diphthongs. The first multimedia dictionary receives a diphthong produced by the text converter and produces a set of digitized samples of multimedia information representative of the received diphthong. The system may include a second multimedia dictionary containing its own set of digitized samples. In this embodiment, the system is configured to determine the author of the text-based message and, in response, to select between the first and second multimedia dictionaries.
