ABSTRACT:
A method of automatically adjusting volume of speech generated by a text-to-speech application can include measuring an ambient noise level of an audio environment. A target volume for speech output generated by a text-to-speech application can be calculated based in part upon the ambient noise level. A volume of speech generated by the text-to-speech application can be automatically adjusted responsive to the performed calculation.
