Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for intelligent caching of concatenative speech units for use in speech synthesis. A system configured to practice the method can identify, in a local cache of text-to-speech units for a text-to-speech voice an absent text-to-speech unit which is not in the local cache. The system can request from a server the absent text-to-speech unit. The system can then synthesize speech using the text-to-speech units and a received text-to-speech unit from the server.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for intelligent caching of concatenative speech units for use in speech synthesis. A system configured to practice the method can identify a speech synthesis context, and determine, based on a local cache of text-to-speech units for a text-to-speech voice and based on the speech synthesis context, additional text-to-speech units which are not in the local cache. The system can request from a server the additional text-to-speech units, and store the additional text-to-speech units in the local cache. The system can then synthesize speech using the text-to-speech units and the additional text-to-speech units in the local cache. The system can prune the cache as the context changes, based on availability of local storage, or after synthesizing the speech. The local cache can store a core set of text-to-speech units associated with the text-to-speech voice that cannot be pruned from the local cache.

Abstract translation: 用于智能缓存用于语音合成的级联语音单元的系统，方法和计算机可读存储介质。 配置为实施该方法的系统可以识别语音合成上下文，并且基于用于文本到语音语音的文本到语音单元的本地高速缓存并且基于语音合成上下文来确定附加的文本 - 不在本地缓存中的语音单元。 系统可以从服务器请求附加的文本到语音单元，并将附加的文本到语音单元存储在本地高速缓存中。 然后，系统可以使用本地高速缓存中的文本到语音单元和附加的文本到语音单元来合成语音。 系统可以根据本地存储的可用性，或合成语音之后随着上下文的变化修剪缓存。 本地缓存可以存储与文本到语音语音相关联的文本到语音单元的核心集合，其不能从本地高速缓存中修剪。

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for intelligent caching of concatenative speech units for use in speech synthesis. A system configured to practice the method can identify speech units that are required for synthesizing speech. The system can request from a server the text-to-speech unit needed to synthesize the speech. The system can then synthesize speech using text-to-speech units already stored and a received text-to-speech unit from the server.

Abstract: Voice enabled dialog with web pages is provided. An Internet address of a web page is received including an area with which a user of a client device can specify information. The web page is loaded using the received Internet address of the web page. A task structure of the web page is then extracted. An abstract representation of the web is then generated. A dialog script, based on the abstract representation of the web page is then provided. Spoken information received from the user is converted into text and the converted text is inserted into the area.
