Facilitating text-to-speech conversion of a username or a network address containing a username

摘要

To facilitate text-to-speech conversion of a username, a first or last name of a user associated with the usemame may be retrieved, and a pronunciation of the usemame may be determined based at least in part on whether the name forms at least part of the usemame. To facilitate text-to-speech conversion of a domain name having a top level domain and at least one other level domain, a pronunciation for the top level domain may be determined based at least in part upon whether the top level domain is one of a predetermined set of top level domains. Each other level domain may be searched for one or more recognized words therewithin, and a pronunciation of the other level domain may be determined based at least in part on an outcome of the search. The usemame and domain name may form part of a network address such as an email address, URL or URI.
