Information reproducing system capable of manually reading an optically readable code and repeatedly reproducing voice information included in the code

An information reproducing system for optically reading a code by manually scanning the code, the code being optically readably recorded in a printed recording medium and containing at least audio information, the information reproducing system comprising:

• a reader which optically reads the code which is manually scanned;
• and
• repeat reproducing means for repeatedly reproducing and outputting the audio information, on the basis of the code optically read by said reader;
• wherein the code comprises a plurality of blocks which are allowed to be arranged adjacent to each other, each of the blocks comprising:
• a data dot pattern comprising a plurality of dots arranged in accordance with contents of the data;
• a marker by which said each of the blocks is recognizable;
• and
• a block address pattern representing an address of said each of the blocks in the code;
• and
• wherein the data dot pattern, the marker and the block address have a predetermined positional relationship in said each of the blocks.
