ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for automating the assembly or creation of audio files for providing to listeners or for use in voice interactive services are provided. A voice application script is prepared and text associated with a desired audio file statement is inserted in the voice application in place of an audio file name. A recording manager software program passes the voice application script to an Extensible Markup Language (XML) parser that locates audio file tags in the voice application script. The XML parser extracts voice properties, if any, for each found audio tag, such as age and gender properties. The XML parser extracts the text string, and the recording manager software module passes the text string and associated properties in a database query to an audio file recording library database for locating an audio file matching the text string and properties. If a matching audio file or combination of audio files is located, a file name for the located file or files may be populated into the voice application script so that upon execution of the voice application script, the located audio file will be called by the script for presentation to a user or for use in a voice interactive services system.
