Text-to-Speech System for Stitcher
A text-to-speech system for a stitcher includes a tablet device in operative communication with the stitcher; the tablet device further comprising a display screen; a memory; a microprocessor; communication module; a command input device; a speaker; and a text-to-speech algorithm. An associated method includes the steps of accepting a command for operation of the stitcher from a user; transmitting the command to the text-to-speech algorithm; and producing an audible confirmation of the command through the speaker.
1 . A text-to-speech system for a stitcher, comprising:
a tablet device in operative communication with said stitcher;
said tablet device further comprising:
a display screen;
a memory;
a microprocessor;
a communication module;
a command input device;
a speaker; and
a text-to-speech algorithm operatively communicating with said tablet device.
2 . The text-to-speech system for a stitcher as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said display is a touch screen.
3 . The text-to-speech system for a stitcher as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said communication module is a wireless communication module.
4 . The text-to-speech system for a stitcher as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said text-to-speech algorithm is stored in said memory of said tablet device.
5 . The text-to-speech system for a stitcher as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said text-to-speech algorithm is accessed by said tablet device via said communication module and a global communication network.
6 . A method of operating a stitcher, comprising the steps of:
providing a tablet device in operative communication with said stitcher, said tablet device further comprising:
a display screen;
a memory;
a microprocessor;
a communication module;
a command input device;
a speaker; and
a text-to-speech algorithm operatively communicating with said tablet device;
accepting a command for operation of the stitcher from a user;
transmitting said command to said text-to-speech algorithm; and
producing an audible confirmation of said command through said speaker.
7 . The method of operating a stitcher as set forth in claim 6 , wherein said text-to-speech algorithm is stored in said memory of said tablet device.
8 . The method of operating a stitcher by a voice command system as set forth in claim 6 , wherein said step of transmitting said command to said text-to-speech algorithm further comprises accessing said text-to-speech algorithm via said communication module and a global communication network.
