Claims
- 1. An electronic apparatus for producing a voice output comprising:
- a first manually operable key;
- a second manually operable key;
- data memory means for storing data;
- voice memory means for storing voice information corresponding to said data stored in said data memory means for providing a voice output from said apparatus;
- address menas for addressing said data memory means to read out data stored therein;
- first control means connected to and responsive to actuation of said first manually operable key for controlling said address means to address said data memory means in a first order to read out said data therefrom and for controlling the reading out of said voice information from said voice memory means in accordance with said data read out from said data memory means; and
- second control means connected to and responsive to actuation of said second manually operable key upon stopping of the operation of said address means by said first control means for controlling said address means to step back the address of said data memory means addressed in the first order to a stepped-back address preceding the last address addressed by said address means and for thereby repeating the reading out of said voice information automatically from said voice memory means in accordance with the data read out from said data memory means beginning with said stepped-back address which becomes a start address for reading out data in the first order from said data memory means.
- 2. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said data memory means comprises a read-write memory.
- 3. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising input means for entering said data into said apparatus to be stored in said memory means.
- 4. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising converting means for converting said voice information read out from said voice information memory means to analog voice information.
- 5. An electronic apparatus for producing a voice output comprising:
- manually operable input means having first and second keys;
- data memory means for storing data;
- voice memory means for storing voice information corresponding to said data stored in said data memory means for providing a voice output from said apparatus;
- address means for addressing said data memory means to read out data stored therein;
- first control means responsive to actuation of said first key for controlling said address means to address said data memory means in a first order and for controlling the reading out of said voice information corresponding to said data from said voice memory means in accordance with said data read out from said data memory means; and
- second control means connected to said second key of said manually operable input means for controlling said address means upon the stopping of operation of said first control means to step back the address of said data memory means addressed in said first order to a stepped-back address preceding the last address addressed by said address means and for repeating the reading out of said voice information automatically, corresponding to said data read out, from said voice memory means in accordance with said data so read out by causing said first control means to start reading out from the stepped-back address which becomes a start address for reading out data in the first order from said data memory means.
- 6. An electronic apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising input means for entering data into said apparatus to be stored into said memory means.
- 7. An electronic apparatus for producing a voice output comprising:
- input means comprising data input means for entering data, first instruction means for entering first instructions and second instruction means for entering second instructions; said data, said first instructions, and said second instructions comprising general information;
- data memory means for storing the general information entered by said input means;
- voice memory means for storing voice information corresponding to the general information stored in said data memory means for providing a voice output from said apparatus;
- address means responsive to first instructions entered by said first instruction means for generating an address for addressing said data memory means read out general information stored therein;
- first control means for controlling said address menas to address said data memory means to read out sequentially said general information therefrom and for controlling the reading out of said voice information corresponding to said general information from said voice memory means in accordance with said general information read out from said data memory means; and
- second control means responsive to second instructions entered by said second instruction means, upon stopping of the operation of said address means in response to said first instructions for controlling said address means to step back the address of said data memory means to a step-back address preceding the last address addressed by said address means and then for repeating reading out said voice information automatically from said voice memory means in accordance with general information sequentially read out from said data memory means beginning with said stepped-back address which becomes a start address for reading out general information from said memory means.
