Systems and methods for providing non-lexical cues in synthesized speech |
摘要 |
Systems and methods for providing non-lexical cues in synthesized speech are described herein. Original text is analyzed to determine characteristics of the text and/or to derive or augment an intent (e.g., an intent code). Non-lexical cue insertion points are determined based on the characteristics of the text and/or the intent. One or more nonlexical cues are inserted at insertion points to generate augmented text. The augmented text is synthesized into speech, including converting the non-lexical cues to speech output. |

1. A system that converts text to speech, the system comprising:
an intent analyzer to analyze by one or more processors original text received by the system to derive an intent representative of intended meaning to be conveyed by non-lexical cues; a non-lexical cue insertion engine to determine by the one or more processors insertion points of non-lexical cues based on the derived intent and to insert a non-lexical cue at the insertion point within the original text to generate augmented text; and a speech synthesizer to synthesize speech from the augmented text. |
