Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an electronic reader, in particular to an electronic reader which can indicate the position of the currently read text while reading aloud. Background technique

[0002] Following the digitization of video, audio and images, e-readers have set off a wave of book digitization in recent years, especially the advent of electronic paper books with electronic ink (E-ink) as the display technology, which has accelerated the popularization of e-readers. process. Due to the mature development of text-to-speech technology (TTS: Text to Speech), more and more e-readers are equipped with the function of reading aloud, allowing users to "listen" to books while reading, which brings great benefits to users. Convenience and audio-visual enjoyment. However, at present, such e-readers with the function of reading aloud, generally speaking, during speech synthesis, they will first extract a paragraph of text, and then use the speech synthesis...
