Abstract: A system and method for using semantic analysis to configure a voice reader is presented. A text file includes a plurality of text blocks, such as paragraphs. Processing performs semantic analysis on each text block in order to match the text block's semantic content with a semantic identifier. Once processing matches a semantic identifier with the text block, processing retrieves voice attributes that correspond to the semantic identifier (i.e. pitch value, loudness value, and pace value) and provides the voice attributes to a voice reader. The voice reader uses the text block to produce a synthesized voice signal with properties that correspond to the voice attributes. The text block may include semantic tags whereby processing performs latent semantic indexing on the semantic tags in order to match semantic identifiers to the semantic tags.
