Pretend you are trying to program a computer to translate a typed memo into a message that can be sent over a loudspeaker. the computer doesnt need to understand what it is reading aloud, only has to translate the type into speech Don't worry about programs, bits, bytes, scanning devices, and so forth. Just think about the steps involved in human language processing and have your computer do them.
What steps must the computer carry out? Think about the input (printed words), the output (spoken words), and the steps that must happen in between. (You do not have to tell exactly how the computer will tackle these steps; just identify the steps it must complete to do this one task. For example, your first step might be "letter recognition," and your second step, "word recognition."
What problems might the computer face at each step you listed? (It may help to think about what humans must be able to do to read something aloud. For example, would you be able to complete this task if some memos were all in italics, like this, and others in regular typeface, like this?)
Can you think of ways to help your computer deal with the difficulties it faces at each step?
