摘要:Algorithms for synthesizing speech used to identify media assets are provided.Speech may be selectively synthesized from text strings associated with media assets. Atext string may be normalized and its native language determined for obtaining a targetphoneme for providing human- sounding speech in a language (e.g., dialect or accent)that is familiar to a user. The algorithms may be implemented on a system includingseveral dedicated render engines. The system may be part of a back end coupled to afront end including storage for media assets and associated synthesized speech, and arequest processor for receiving and processing requests that result in providing thesynthesized speech. The front end may communicate media assets and associatedsynthesized speech content over a network to host devices coupled to portableelectronic devices on which the media assets and synthesized speech are played back.
