Abstract

The invention relates to a system combining two currently existing technologies: a) That of electronic analog/digital converter circuits used in digital display measurement apparatuses; b) That of electronic voice synthesiser circuits. The device according to the invention proposes the coupling: 1) of a converter circuit 2; 2) of a microprocessor and its memory 3; 3) of a synthesiser circuit 4; 4) of control circuits 7 and 8; 5) of audio output circuits 5 and 6. The device according to the invention makes it possible to carry out a measurement without having to pay attention to the measurement apparatus. Since the device according to the invention requires only the sense of hearing, it can be used by the blind.
