Simulated voice message by concatenating voice files

摘要

Computer-generated personalized voice messages are created by concatenating data files of audio that were pre-recorded in the voice of an individual whose live voice is to be simulated during the delivery of the voice message. A call to a person or list of persons is placed by a computer. Common identifiers of each person to be called are read from a data base of data files, and matched with a separate data base containing recorded voice phrases, each of which is a digitization of the individual speaking content corresponding to the identifier-such as the person's first name. The recorded voice phrase audio is concatenated with at least one other audio file, which is a digitization of a message to be delivered to the called person.
