Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for presenting speech from a selected text that is on a computing device. This method includes presenting text on a touch-sensitive display and having that text size within a threshold level so that the computing device can accurately determine the intent of the user when the user touches the touch screen. Once the user touch has been received, the computing device identifies and interprets the portion of text that is to be selected, and subsequently presents the text audibly to the user.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed that automatically segment speech to generate a speech inventory. The method includes initializing a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) using seed input data, performing a segmentation of the HMM into speech units to generate phone labels, correcting the segmentation of the speech units. Correcting the segmentation of the speech units includes re-estimating the HMM based on a current version of the phone labels, embedded re-estimating of the HMM, and updating the current version of the phone labels using spectral boundary correction. The system includes modules configured to control a processor to perform steps of the method.
