    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for adding realism to synthetic speech. The method includes receiving text (218) that is to be converted into synthetic speech from a mobile device (108). The text (218) may include embedded emoticons indicating a first prosody information and a predefined sound stored in a stored data repository (208). The method also includes identifying a user associated with the text (218) based on a comparison between metadata associated with the text (218) and user profiles stored in the stored data repository (208); retrieving a speech font from a speech data corpus associated with the user stored in the stored data repository (208). The speech font includes a second prosody information and a predefined accent of the user. The method further includes converting the text (218) into synthetic speech based on the retrieved speech font, which is being modulated based on the emoticon.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system (100) for reducing background noise from a speech audio signal generated by a user. The system (100) includes a user device (102) receiving the speech audio signal, a noise reduction device (118) in communication with a stored data repository (208), where the noise reduction device is configured to convert the speech audio signal to text; generate synthetic speech based on the converted text; optionally determine the user as an actual subscriber based on a comparison between the speech audio signal with the synthetic speech; and selectively transmit the speech audio signal or the synthetic speech based on comparison between the predicted subjective quality of the recorded speech and the synthetic speech.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include an apparatus (210, 230, 240, 250) configured to perform beamforming on multiple audio input signals. The apparatus (210, 230, 240, 250) includes one or more illumination devices (222, 232, 242, 252) and a beamforming microphone system (116) integrated with the one or more illumination devices. The beamforming microphone system (116) includes a first plurality of microphones (302, 502) configured to resolve first audio input signals within a first frequency range. The beamforming microphone system (116) also includes at least one microphone (504) configured to resolve second audio input signals within a second frequency range. A lowest frequency in the first frequency range is greater than a lowest frequency in the second frequency range.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system (100, 130) for a USB to Bluetooth audio bridging method and apparatus. The system includes a host device (102) having a first universal serial bus (USB) interface (107) and a second USB interface (110); an adaptor (108) in connection with the first USB interface (107) which is compatible to operate based on a Bluetooth-type communication protocol; a peripheral device (106) coupled to the second USB interface (110); and a mobile communication device (104) linked to the host device (102) via the adaptor (108). The mobile communication device (104) communicates an audio data signal to the adaptor (108) and an audio bridging device (116). The audio bridging device (116) maps the second USB interface (110) to the adaptor (108) and routes audio data signals alone or in combination with another audio data signals to the peripheral device (106) via the second USB interface (110).
