Abstract:
A voice application creation and deployment system includes a voice application server 2301 for creating and serving voice applications to clients over a communication network 134; at least one voice portal 143 having access to the communication network. An inference engine 3427 is called during one or more predetermined points of an on going voice interaction to decide whether an inference of a client need can be made based on analysis of existing data.
Abstract:
A system includes a server associated with a unified messaging system (UMS). The server records speech of a user as an audio data file, translates the audio data file into a text data file, and maps each word within the text data file to a corresponding segment of audio data in the audio data file. A graphical user interface (GUI) of a message editor running on an endpoint associated with the user displays the text data file on the endpoint and allows -the user to identify a portion of the text data file for replacement. The server being further operable to record new speech of the user as new audio data and to replace one or more segments of the audio data file corresponding to the portion of the text with the new audio data.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are described in which spoken voice prompts can be produced in a manner such that they will most likely have the desired effect, for example to indicate empathy, or produce a desired follow-up action from a call recipient. The prompts can be produced with specific optimized speech parameters, including duration, gender of speaker, and pitch, so as to encourage participation and promote comprehension among a wide range of patients or listeners. Upon hearing such voice prompts, patients/listeners can know immediately when they are being asked questions that they are expected to answer, and when they are being given information, as well as the information that considered sensitive.
Abstract:
Techniques and systems for recalling voicemail messages from remote voicemail systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for recalling a voicemail message from a target mailbox can include: accessing a voicemail system by a caller using a device; authenticating the caller using speaker verification; and deleting the voicemail message from the target mailbox. The target mailbox owner can be a member of the voicemail system, while the caller can be a non-member of that voicemail system. The device may be configured to support a telephony user interface (TUI), for example.
Abstract:
A wireless local area network system and a headset for the system. The headset uses voice-input information to set up parameters needed to connect the headset to the corresponding access point and then start the connection process. When the connection fails or succeeds appropriate voice prompt or visible signal tells the user the headset's connection status.

Abstract:
There is disclosed a system and method for addressing an audio file server to play pre-recorded audio files, including variable audio files, using a query URL containing the required file's attributes, without requiring a fully-resolved file address. The HTTP XJRL protocol is used by adding attributes, such as the language, the speaker, and a text version of the desired message, along with other required attributes of the audio file to the URL. The audio file server accepts and analyzes the attributes in the URL to find out what type of variable field is being requested. Normally, variable field prompts created from spliced audio clips are restricted to a few specific types of variable fields, such as time, date, or amount, fields, or numeric strings such as telephone numbers, credit card numbers, etc. Once the audio file server determines the field type, language and speaker from the URL, it examines the field text value from the query attribute string. The file server then calculates and retrieves the set of utterances required to create the desired phrase. The audio file server splices all of the short files together, and returns the completed utterance to the voice browser for playing to the user.
Abstract:
A network-based communication system for translating multi-language speech and text in real-time, especially a communication system for translating instant communication of multi-language speech and text in real-time based on INTERNET, PSTN or other mobile telephone network. The system consists of user terminal device and server side device, the devices communicate with each other through the network to which they are connected, the server side device consists of control server and multi-language speech and text translation server, the user terminal device consists of at least a first transmitting/receiving device and at least a second transmitting/receiving device. The system can realize real-time communication translation of speech or text from one language to anther, it can also realize real-time communication translation of speech or text from one language to multi-language. The present invention also discloses a communication method based on the system.
Abstract:
A method and voice communicator to provide a voice communication is described. The method may include identifying text to be communicated and automatically processing the text to generate an audio equivalent of the text. For example, the text may be scraped from a web page. The method may include identifying an intended recipient of the audio equivalent and thereafter communicating the audio equivalent as a telephone communication (e.g., a voice mail message in a voice mailbox). Thus, identifying the intended recipient may include requesting a telephone number of a sender (caller) of the voice communication. In an embodiment, the method comprises monitoring selection by a user of a contact list available on the voice communicator wherein the contact list includes a plurality of recipient names and their associated telephone numbers. The audio equivalent is communicated to the recipient device over, for example, PSTN or VoIP network.
Abstract:
A method to generate revenue for a global network-based media provider is disclosed. The method includes qualh'ying users and sponsors of an integrated web site which provides streaming digital media and search capability to users. The integrated web site includes a predictive global search engine which updates links in a view of the integrated web site by making predictive demographic and psychographic associations to users' lifestyles based on user interactions with the intt grated web site. The updated links include links to sponsor web sites that a user is predicted to be interested in, and the provider of the integrated web site (i.e., the media provider) is paid a mnonetary amount every time a user accesses a sponsor's web site.
