ABSTRACT:
Converting marked-up text into a synthesized stream includes providing marked-up text to a processor-based system, converting the marked-up text into a text stream including vocabulary items, retrieving audio segments corresponding to the vocabulary items, concatenating the audio segments to form a synthesized stream, and audibly outputting the synthesized stream, wherein the marked-up text includes a normal text and a paralinguistic text; and wherein the normal text is differentiated from the paralinguistic text by using a grammar constraint, and wherein the paralinguistic text is associated with more than one audio segment, wherein the retrieving of the plurality audio segments includes selecting one audio segment associated with the paralinguistic text.
