Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for receiving an utterance from a user and analyzing the utterance to identify the demographics of the user. The system then analyzes the utterance to determine the prosody of the utterance, and retrieves from the Internet data associated with the determined demographics. Using the retrieved data, the system retrieves, also from the Internet, recorded speech matching the identified prosody. The recorded speech, which is based on the demographic data of the utterance and has a prosody matching the utterance, is then saved to a database for future use in generating speech specific to the user.

A method comprising:
- receiving an utterance from a user;
- analyzing, via a processor, the utterance to identify a demographic of the user and a prosody;
- retrieving, from a network, data associated with the demographic;
- retrieving, from the network, recorded speech matching the prosody and associated with the data;
- and
- saving the data and recorded speech in a database for generating speech.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an utterance from a user;
- analyzing, via a processor, the utterance to identify a demographic of the user and a prosody;
- retrieving, from a network, data associated with the demographic;
- retrieving, from the network, recorded speech matching the prosody and associated with the data;
- and
- saving the data and recorded speech in a database for generating speech.
