” in Devanagari script. This word includes three different C-V pairs: 1) i+
, 2)/
/+i, and 3) /j/+a. These are approximately pronounced as “in,” “di,” and “ya,” respectively. The C-V haptic signal converter 1416 converts each of these C-V pairs into a sequence of actuator signals 1426, which are transmitted to the cutaneous actuators 1428, which generate sequences of haptic output. For ease of discussion, each of the sequence of haptic outputs associated with a C-V pair is referred to as a haptic C-V pair. Thus, the three C-V pairs here are translated into three haptic C-V pairs. A similar process would occur for other words.
