Abstract: A device, computer program and method for outputting linguistic information. The voice output device, for example, includes an output information acquisition unit acquiring linguistic information and attribute information. Attribute information includes an attribute added to each linguistic element included in the linguistic information. A tactile pattern storage unit stores a predetermined tactile pattern corresponding to each linguistic element. A tactile pattern acquisition unit acquires the tactile pattern from the tactile pattern storage unit. A voice output unit reads aloud the linguistic elements and a tactile pattern output unit outputs, in parallel with reading aloud each linguistic element, the tactile pattern corresponding to the attribute added to the linguistic element, thereby allowing a user to sense the tactile pattern by the sense of touch.

Abstract: Speech of a speaker is repeated by a repeating person whose speech is recognized and a video of the speaker is delayed when displayed so that it is displayed together with characters, so that the speech of the speaker can easily be understood. A video delay unit (2) outputs delayed video data of video input to a camera (1) and delayed. A first speech recognition unit (5) recognizes the content of a first language of a first repeating person input to a first speech input unit (3) and converts it into visible language data. A second speech recognition unit (6) recognizes the content of a second language of a second repeating person input to a second speech input unit (4) and converts it into second visible language data.

Abstract: This electric artificial larynx 1 comprises a sound source generating unit 3 which is held by interposition means 2 attached directly or indirectly to the human body 10 and can be always placed near the cervical region 10a and a portable controller 4 which is separated from the sound source generating unit 3 and operates the sound source generating unit 3. The controller 4 preferably comprises a control signal generating unit which includes a sensor for detecting ID biological information or a switch 12 for supplying a signal and a control unit 16 which drives and controls the sound source generating unit 3 in response to a signal from the control signal generating unit and has a power source unit 15 for supplying power to the sound source generating unit 3.
