Abstract

"SìNTESE INTELIGENTE TEXTO-PARA-VOZ". Método e aparelho de sintetizar voz a partir de um trecho de texto de entrada (104). Numa modalidade, o método inclui as etapas de recuperar o texto de entrada (104) lançado num sistema de computação e transformar o texto de entrada (104) com base na semântica (152) de pelo menos uma palavra do texto de entrada (104) para gerar um texto formatado (108) para síntese de voz. Em outra modalidade, a transformação também depende de pelo uma característica da pessoa que está ouvindo a saída de voz (118). Em ainda outra modalidade, a transformação depende ainda de pelo menos uma característica do hardware empregado pelo usuário para ouvir a saída de voz (118). O texto transformado pode ser ainda modificado para adaptar um mecanismo de texto para voz para gerar a saída de voz (118).
