Abstract

A method of translating a command into natural language is comprised of the steps of: storing compressed words of the language once as either a word or subset of a word or group of adjoining words in a memory; storing a numeric indicator of each group of tokens which form a natural language string, with position locators; looking up the position locators in response to the command; accessing the memory to retrieve the compressed words; and providing a string of the tokens as a natural language string.
