Method:  Animate text, frame by frame to match a voice.
Results:  See test animation “a”
          The animated motion of the letter "a" remains synchronized, when viewed on various computers and internet connections.  Technically the illusion works.  The letter “a” appears to be the source of the sound. 

Conclusion:  Techincally picture and sound are in sync, but this is short.  A longer more comprehensive Flash animation test needs to be done.

          Looking at the "a" animation conceptually, we see a paradox.  The pre-language, "goo-goo-gaa-gaa-ing", of a baby is represented by the text of the letter "a".  How can that be?  How can a letter represent non speech?  How can a letter talk?  How can a letter be literate or illiterate?
         If we consider the letter "a" to be a character in a story, a character capable of independent thought, then of  course it is possible for the letter "a" to be just like a baby, unable to read, write, or talk.  If we continue this thought, it is also possible for other letters to teach the letter "a" to read, write, and talk. 

            There are enormous chasms between the abilities of  children. A six year old for example, has an entire lifetime of experience over that of a three year old, who in turn has several lifetimes of experience over that of a baby.  In our society the ability to express ourselves verbally is equated to our ability to think. 

          Consider the following example as an extrapolation of the "a" animation test :  Imagine that we create a full narrative story that is made up of just baby sounds and animated text.

          1)  Would the text phonetically spell out the                                   the "goo goo gaa gaa" baby sounds? 

          2)  Would the text translate the "baby talk" into                             something  readable like: "I'd really appreciate to                     having my diapers changed if you don't mind"?

          3)  Or would a young child translate what they thought                 the baby was saying into words, with those words                   then matched in sync to the babies sounds?

         If audiences are presented with three conceptually different animations would they be able to decide the most effective piece?  Maybe the above three animations would work well shown as a trio?  Who knows in advance?  The challenge is to remain open minded until the creation is made. Once the animation is made the audiences will provide the answers..
