SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMICALLY IMPROVING USER INTELLIGIBILITY OF SYNTHESIZED SPEECH IN A WORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method and apparatus that dynamically adjust operational parameters of a text-to-speech engine in a speech-based system are disclosed. A voice engine or other application of a device provides a mechanism to alter the adjustable operational parameters of the text-to-speech engine. In response to one or more environmental conditions, the adjustable operational parameters of the text-to-speech engine are modified to increase the intelligibility of synthesized speech.

主权项

1. A communication system for a speech-based environment, the communication system comprising:
a text-to-speech engine configured to provide an audible output to a user, the text-to-speech engine including an adjustable operational parameter; and processing circuitry configured to monitor an ambient noise level and, in response to the monitored ambient noise level, modify the adjustable operational parameter of the text-to-speech engine.
