Abstract
A system and method for providing an audio representation of a name includes providing a list of a plurality of users of a network and respective presence information regarding each of the plurality of users; receiving a request from an endpoint to receive an audio representation of a name of a particular user of the plurality of users, and providing the audio representation to the endpoint. Moreover, the audio representation of the name at least generally approximates a pronunciation of the name as pronounced by the particular user.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- creating a recording of a name of a particular user in a network, the recording of the name comprising an audio representation of an accurate pronunciation of the name;
- storing the recording of the name in a storage location within the network;
- providing a list of a plurality of user names and respective presence information regarding each of the plurality of users;
- receiving a request from an endpoint for the recording of the name of the particular user, the request for the recording being generated by the endpoint selecting the name of the particular user from the list of the plurality of user names;
- accessing the storage location in response to the request;
- providing the recording of the name of the particular user in response to the request from the endpoint;
- wherein creating the recording of the name comprises creating a first version and a second version of the audio representation;
- and
- wherein providing the recording of the name comprises providing the first version or the second version of the audio representation based on presence based call routing rules, caller identification information, or phone number association.

A system comprising:
- an interface operable to provide a list of a plurality of user names and respective presence information regarding each of the plurality of users;
- a processor operable to:
- create a recording of a name of a particular user in a network, the recording of the name comprising an audio representation of an accurate pronunciation of the name;
- store the recording of the name in a storage location within the network;
- receive a request from an endpoint for the recording of the name of the particular user, the request for the recording being generated by the endpoint selecting the name of the particular user from the list of the plurality of user names;
- and
- access the storage location in response to the request;
- and
- a transmission module operable to provide the recording of the name of the particular user in response to the request from the endpoint;
- wherein the processor operable to create the recording of the name comprises a processor operable to create a first version and a second version of the audio representation;
- and
- wherein the transmission module operable to provide the recording of the name comprises a transmission module operable to provide the first version or the second version of the audio representation based on presence based call routing rules, caller identification information, or phone number association.

Software encoded on one or more non-transitory computer-readable media and when executed operable to:
- create a recording of a name of a particular user in a network, the recording of the name comprising an audio representation of an accurate pronunciation of the name;
- store the recording of the name in a storage location within the network;
- provide a list of a plurality of user names and respective presence information regarding each of the plurality of users;
- receive a request from an endpoint for the recording of the name of the particular user, the request for the recording being generated by the endpoint selecting the name of the particular user from the list of the plurality of user names;
- access the storage location in response to the request;
- and
- provide the recording of the name of the particular user in response to the request from the endpoint;
- wherein the software when executed is further operable to:
- create the recording of the name by creating a first version and a second version of the audio representation;
- and
- provide the recording of the name by providing the first version or the second version of the audio representation based on presence based call routing rules, caller identification information, or phone number association.
