Abstract

Media content can be created and/or modified using a network-accessible platform. Scripts for content-based experiences could be readily created using one or more interfaces generated by the network-accessible platform. For example, a script for a content-based experience could be created using an interface that permits triggers to be inserted directly into the script. Interface(s) may also allow different media formats to be easily aligned for post-processing. For example, a transcript and an audio file may be dynamically aligned so that the network-accessible platform can globally reflect changes made to either item. User feedback may also be presented directly on the interface(s) so that modifications can be made based on actual user experiences.

Claims13

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

causing display of a transcript in an interface;
receiving first input indicative of an addition of a word into the transcript, the word being preceded by one or more words and succeeded by one or more words;
identifying an audio file that is programmatically linked to the transcript on a word basis or a phoneme basis;
synthesizing a first audio segment in which the word is spoken based on a characteristic of a speaker that is associated with the audio file by:
determining phonemes needed to construct the first audio segment from a second audio segment that corresponds to the preceding one or more words or a third audio segment that corresponds to the succeeding one or more words, and
combining the determined phonemes derived from the second audio segment or the third audio segment, so as to construct the first audio segment;
and
inserting the first audio segment into the audio file, such that the first audio segment is preceded by the second audio segment and followed by the third audio segment.
