Abstract: Algorithms for synthesizing speech used to identify media assets are provided. Speech may be selectively synthesized from text strings associated with media assets, where each text string can be associated with a native string language (e.g., the language of the string). When several text strings are associated with at least two distinct languages, a series of rules can be applied to the strings to identify a single voice language to use for synthesizing the speech content from the text strings. In some embodiments, a prioritization scheme can be applied to the text strings to identify the more important text strings. The rules can include, for example, selecting a voice language based on the prioritization scheme, a default language associated with an electronic device, the ability of a voice language to speak text in a different language, or any other suitable rule.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于合成用于识别媒体资产的语音的算法。 可以从与媒体资产相关联的文本字符串选择性地合成语音，其中每个文本字符串可以与本地字符串语言（例如，字符串的语言）相关联。 当几个文本串与至少两个不同的语言相关联时，可以将一系列规则应用于字符串以识别用于从文本串合成语音内容的单个语音语言。 在一些实施例中，可将优先化方案应用于文本串以识别更重要的文本串。 规则可以包括例如基于优先化方案选择语音语言，与电子设备相关联的默认语言，语音语言以不同语言说话的能力，或任何其他合适的规则。
