Abstract:

The invention converts raw data in a base language (e.g. English) into conversational formatted messages in multiple languages. The process converts input data rows into related sequences to a set of prerecorded audio phrase files. The sequences reference both recorded phrases of input data components and user-created text phrases inserted before and after the input data. When the audio sequences are played in sequence, a coherent conversational message in the language of the caller results. An IVR server responding to a caller's menu selection uses the invention's output data to generate the coherent response. Two embodiment are presented, a simple embodiment that responds to messages, and a more complex embodiment that converts enterprise demographic and member-event data collected over a period into audio sentences played in response to a menu item section by a caller in the caller's language.
