    摘要: The present invention discloses a text-to-speech system that provides output variability. The system can include a finite state grammar, a variability engine and a text-to-speech engine. The finite state grammar can contain a phrase role consisting of one or more phrase elements. The phrase rule can deterministically generate a variable text phrase based upon at least one random number. The phrase rule can include a definition for each of the phrase elements. Each definition can be associated with at least one defined text string. The variability engine can construct a random text phrase responsive to receiving an action command, wherein said finite state grammar is used to create the text phrase. The variability engine can also rely on user-specified weights to adjust the output probabilities. The speech-to-text engine can convert the text phrase generated by the variability engine into speech output.

    摘要: A method for searching Web pages that begins with the identification of query criteria entered into a search provider. A set of Web pages that satisfies the query criteria are determined. Then, a page ranking is ascertained for each Web page in the set. The Web pages are presented in order by page ranking. The page ranking is based upon at least one relevancy factor that includes a browsing-time factor. The browsing-time factor can be calculated from browsing behavior exhibited by users, who provided similar query criteria. The set of users from which the browsing-time factor is calculated can include a current user, a set of users sharing characteristics with the current user, and/or a general set of users. Browsing behavior can include time spent at a Web page, where the browsed Web page is a page that was previously presented as a search result for the similar query criteria.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a system and a method for creating a reduced script, which is read by a voice talent to create a concatenative text-to-speech (TTS) voice. The method can automatically process pre-recorded audio to derive speech assets for a concatenative TTS voice. The pre-recording audio can include sets of recorded phrases used by a speech user interface (Sill). A set of unfulfilled speech assets needed for foil phonetic coverage of the concatenative TTS voice can be determined. A reduced script can be constructed that includes a set of phrases, which when read by a voice talent result in a reduced corpus. When the reduced corpus is automatically processed, a reduced set of speech assets result. The reduced set includes each of the unfulfilled speech assets. When this reduced corpus is combined with existing speech assets the result will be a voice with a complete set of speech assets.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method for handling contact information in a communication device. The method can include a step of presenting content within a visual interface of the communication device. A contact detection algorithm can execute to detect contact items included in the content. A visual indication can be presented next to each detected contact item. User input can be received, which causes the communication device to perform a contact action relating to one of the contact items. The contact action can add contact information to an address book, can initiate a communication session, and/or can place the contact item in a memory space for later use by an application other than one in which the content was presented.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method and system for notifying a user of a password/passcode change event. In the invention, a computing system can automatically detect a password/passcode change event. At least one user affected by the event can be determined. A pre-existing user defined message can be retrieved from a data store. A password/passcode change message can be automatically conveyed to the affected user. The change message can include content of the pre-existing user defined message. Further, in one embodiment, an automatically generated activity report associated with a password/passcode can be presented to either a user making a password/passcode change or as part of the conveyed change message.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a solution for assuring user-defined voice commands are unambiguous. The solution can include a step of identifying a user attempt to enter a user-defined voice command into a voice-enabled system. A safety analysis can be performed on the user-defined voice command to determine a likelihood that the user-defined voice command will be confused with preexisting voice commands recognized by the voice-enabled system. When a high likelihood of confusion is determined by the safety analysis, a notification can be presented that the user-defined voice command is subject to confusion. A user can then define a different voice command or can choose to continue to use the potentially confusing command, possibly subject to a system imposed confusion mitigating condition or action.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method for a voice-enabled computing environment. The method includes a step of receiving a series of voice commands related to an abstraction, wherein the voice command specifies an abstraction type. The method further includes responding to the voice command to replay the commands, executing at least one programmatic action related to the abstraction, where the programmatic action is executed demonstrating characteristics specific to the abstraction type associated with the voice command. The present method applies, but is not limited to, the execution of collections of commands that may have diverging timing characteristics.

A text entry is detected as an input to a find engine that locates and highlights the text entry within a main body of a webpage being displayed on a computer. A scope of the text entry is determined based on the textual context of the text entry and the type of webpage being displayed. An in-place adjustment is then utilized to automatically retrieve and display ancillary content on the webpage based on the textual context of the text entry and the type of webpage being displayed without refreshing the main body of the webpage.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a network accessible software application that includes an interface permitting a set of profile providers to input personal biographical information, which includes job history information and education information. The application can also include an interface enabling a set of commentators to view biographical information provided by the set of profile providers and to add input regarding this information. Software of the application can establish/calculate at least one verification score against the personal biographical information based at least in part upon the added input from the set of commentators. Further software can convey the personal information along with the verification score to a set of profile consumers. At least a portion of the commentators can have a social networking connection to the profile providers for whom the added input is provided.
