What is another word for talking picture?
Pronunciation: [tˈɔːkɪŋ pˈɪkt͡ʃə] (IPA) 
A talking picture refers to a movie or motion picture that has synchronized sound, allowing the audience to hear dialogue and sound effects alongside the action on screen. There are several synonyms for this term, including "talkie," "sound film," and "talker." In earlier times, movies before the advent of synchronized sound were called "silent films" or "silents" for short. However, when talkies were introduced in the late 1920s, they quickly became a popular form of entertainment. Today, talking pictures are the norm, and the term "talkie" is rarely used. However, these synonyms still highlight the historic importance of synchronized sound and its impact on the film industry.
