Abstract
An example method involves determining an attribute associated with an audible version of a news story, wherein the attribute indicates a manner in which data representing the audible version of the news story was generated; using the determined attribute associated with the audible version of the news story as a basis to generate a playlist of a news program that includes the audible version of the news story; and transmitting the generated playlist to a client device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a data generation attribute associated with an audible version of a story, wherein the data generation attribute indicates that the audible version of the story was generated either by recording a human verbal reading of a text based version of the story, or by a text-to-speech system operating on the text based version of the story;
- based on the data generation attribute, generating a playlist that includes a reference to the audible version of the story;
- and
- transmitting the playlist to a client device, wherein reception of the playlist causes the client device to:
- read the reference from the playlist,
- transmit, to a server associated with the reference, a request for the audible version of the story,
- receive, from the server, the audible version of the story, and
- audibly play out the audible version of the story.
An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- determining a data generation attribute associated with an audible version of a story, wherein the data generation attribute indicates that the audible version of the story was generated either by recording a human verbal reading of a text based version of the story, or by a text-to-speech system operating on the text based version of the story;
- based on the data generation attribute, generating a playlist that includes a reference to the audible version of the story;
- and
- transmitting the playlist to a client device, wherein reception of the playlist causes the client device to:
- read the reference from the playlist,
- transmit, to a server associated with the reference, a request for the audible version of the story,
- receive, from the server, the audible version of the story, and
- audibly play out the audible version of the story.
A computing device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory;
- and
- program instructions, stored in the memory, that upon execution by the at least one processor cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- determining a data generation attribute associated with an audible version of a story, wherein the data generation attribute indicates that the audible version of the story was generated either by recording a human verbal reading of a text based version of the story, or by a text-to-speech system operating on the text based version of the story;
- based on the data generation attribute, generating a playlist that includes a reference to the audible version of the story;
- and
- transmitting the playlist to a client device, wherein reception of the playlist causes the client device to:
- read the reference from the playlist,
- transmit, to a server associated with the reference, a request for the audible version of the story,
- receive, from the server, the audible version of the story, and
- audibly play out the audible version of the story.
