摘要： A method for audibly spelling a word in an audio file includes playing an audio file to a user, receiving a command to spell a word in the audio file from the user, identifying a textual word in a text file corresponding to the word, and audibly spelling the textual word. A text-to-speech system includes a memory and a text-to-speech module. The text-to-speech module generates an audio file from a text file, and stores in the memory locations for words in the audio file corresponding to locations of words in the text file.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and apparatus for methods and apparatus for automatically contacting a service center for one or more particular products, as well as contacting other types of entities with respect to any type of item. In a first embodiment, each item includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) of the particular products that is used to automatically contact a service center or the like. In a second embodiment, the RFID of the particular product is automatically sent to the service center or the like. In the first embodiment, the RFID of each product contains contact information, such as a 1-800 telephone number, a URL address, or email address, for a particular service center or the like. In one implementation, an RFID reader is coupled with a communication device, such as a telephone or computer device, and the user uses the RFID reader to scan an RFID of a particular item (e.g., a malfunctioning product). The relevant service center or the like is then contacted based on the RFID scan. For example, the user is connected to an agent at the relevant service center via a telephone or computer network. In the second embodiment, when a service center (or the like) needs RFID tag data for a particular item, a user may select a “send” option (e.g., on the communication device or reader) to have such RFID tag data automatically transmitted to the service center or the like.

摘要： A method and apparatus to provide speaker selection in a multi-party conference call is described. The method may comprise processing a speaker queue for at least one new speaker and monitoring when a number of active speakers is less than a predetermined number of active speakers. When less than the predetermined number, the method automatically, without human intervention, adds a new speaker from the speaker queue. A request for a new speaker may be received via a communication channel independent of a voice communication channel of the multi-party conference call. The request may be received from the conference endpoint via a voice communication channel of the multi-party conference call. In an example embodiment, new speakers in the speaker queue may be prioritized based a class of service associated with each new speaker. Priority may be given to a new speaker with a higher associated class of service.
