Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for providing for intelligent switching of languages and/or pronunciations in a text-to-speech system. As the system receives text, the text is analyzed to identify portions which should have speech constructed using a pronunciation distinct from the remaining portions of the text. The text-to-speech system uses multiple pronunciation dictionaries to generate and produce speech corresponding to the text, where the identified portions of the text are in a different language or have a different accent from the remainder of the text. Having generated speech corresponding to the text in multiple languages, accents, or dialects, the system combines the portions, then communicates the speech to the text recipient.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . A method comprising: receiving text having a first part and a second part; identifying a recipient of speech to be generated from the text; selecting, based on the recipient, a first language for the first part and a second language for the second part; generating, via a processor, the speech from the text, wherein the speech comprises a first portion corresponding to the first part of the text and a second portion corresponding to the second part of the text…
