摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for generating an information announcement. The system includes a receiver to receive transmission information and a text-to-speech generator to create an audio message based on the transmission information. The text-to-speech generator utilizes a plurality of predefined templates stored in memory and inserts portions of the transmission information into one of the templates to create the message. The text-to-speech generator may randomly select the template, index through the templates based on a counter, or select a template based on some portion of the transmission information, such as, the artist's name.
