摘要： Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus to avoid incoherency between a cache memory and a flash memory is provided. The method may include invalidating at least one cache line of information stored in the cache memory to avoid incoherency between the cache memory and the flash memory in response to a flash erase operation, a flash write operation, an operation that makes information inaccessible in the flash memory, or an operation that moves information from one region of the flash memory to another region of the flash memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： According to certain aspects of the invention a mobile voice communication device includes a wireless transceiver circuit for transmitting and receiving auditory information and data, a processor, and a memory storing executable instructions which when executed on the processor causes the mobile voice communication device to provide a selectable personality associated with a user interface to a user of the mobile voice communication device. The executable instructions include implementing on the device a user interface that employs the different user prompts having the selectable personality, wherein each selectable personality of the different user prompts is defined and mapped to data stored in at least one database in the mobile voice communication device. The mobile voice communication device may include a decoder that recognizes a spoken user input and provides a corresponding recognized word, and a speech synthesizer that synthesizes a word corresponding to the recognized word. The device includes user-selectable personalities that are either transmitted wirelessly to the device, transmitted through a computer interface, or provided as memory cards to the device.

摘要： In one aspect, a method of processing a voice signal to extract information to facilitate training a speech synthesis model is provided. The method comprises acts of detecting a plurality of candidate features in the voice signal, performing at least one comparison between one or more combinations of the plurality of candidate features and the voice signal, and selecting a set of features from the plurality of candidate features based, at least in part, on the at least one comparison. In another aspect, the method is performed by executing a program encoded on a computer readable medium. In another aspect, a speech synthesis model is provided by, at least in part, performing the method.

摘要： A method of extracting a subset of speech units from a larger set of speech units for use by a speech synthesizer in synthesizing speech, wherein the speech units are stored in a compressed encoded representation that was generated by a codec, the method comprising: selecting members of the subset of speech units based on an overall cost associated with using the speech synthesizer to synthesize a test set of speech, wherein the overall cost includes at least one error introduced by using the codec to decode the stored representations of the speech units; and storing the selected subset of speech units on a speech-enabled device.
