Abstract
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for automatically adding sound effects into an audio file. At least one trigger word may be identified from text content corresponding to the audio file (1210). Context information of the at least one trigger word may be determined from the text content (1220). It may be decided, based on the context information of the at least one trigger word, that sound effect addition is applicable the at least one trigger word (1230). A sound effect corresponding to the at least one trigger word may be selected from a sound effect library (1240). The sound effect may be integrated into the audio file (1250).
Claims20
A method for automatically adding sound effects into an audio file, comprising:
- identifying at least one trigger word from text content corresponding to the audio file;
- determining context information of the at least one trigger word from the text content;
- deciding, based on the context information of the at least one trigger word, that sound effect addition is applicable for the at least one trigger word;
- selecting a sound effect corresponding to the at least one trigger word from a sound effect library;
- and
- integrating the sound effect into the audio file.
An apparatus for automatically adding sound effects into an audio file, comprising:
- a trigger word identifying module, for identifying at least one trigger word from text content corresponding to the audio file;
- a context information determining module, for determining context information of the at least one trigger word from the text content;
- a sound effect addition deciding module, for deciding, based on the context information of the at least one trigger word, that sound effect addition is applicable for the at least one trigger word;
- a sound effect selecting module, for selecting a sound effect corresponding to the at least one trigger word from a sound effect library;
- and
- a sound effect integrating module, for integrating the sound effect into the audio file.
An apparatus for automatically adding sound effects into an audio file, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:
- identify at least one trigger word from text content corresponding to the audio file,
- determine context information of the at least one trigger word from the text content,
- decide, based on the context information of the at least one trigger word, whether sound effect addition is applicable for the at least one trigger word,
- in response to deciding that the sound effect addition is applicable for the at least one trigger word, select a sound effect corresponding to the at least one trigger word from a sound effect library, and integrate the sound effect into the audio file, and
- in response to deciding that the sound effect addition is inapplicable for the at least one trigger word, stop adding a sound effect corresponding to the at least one trigger word into the audio file.
