Why sing? Why not talk? Because to create graphic animation or large scale integrated audio visual demonstrations or multi-lingual visuals it is necessary to be able to determine when a certain word is going to occur in the program. I know of no easy way to know how long it will take to read a certain script, but if the reading is in time to music I know exactly when that word will be sounded. A discussion concerned using the sub-titleing for the deaf as a base for second language lookup subtitles. The same TV program could be broadcast all over the world and each TV-COMPUTER would subtitle into what ever language was desired and computer speech synthesis would speak that language. The actors would just move in time to the music. Alvin H. White, Gen. Sect. Alvin H. White, Gen. Sect. G.O.D.S.B.R.A.I.N.
