Synthesizing aggregated data of disparate data types into data of a uniform data type with embedded audio hyperlinks

Abstract

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for synthesizing aggregated data of disparate data types into data of a uniform data type. Embodiments include receiving aggregated data of disparate data types; translating the aggregated data of disparate data types into translated content comprising text content and markup associated with the text content; and embedding at least one audio hyperlink within the translated content. Embedding at least one audio hyperlink within the translated content may be carried out by identifying a portion of the translated content to associate with an audio hyperlink; identifying a Uniform Resource Identifier (‘URI’) identifying a resource to be accessed by invoking the audio hyperlink; determining one or more keywords for invoking the audio hyperlink; and associating with the portion of the translated content the URL and the one or more keywords.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for synthesizing aggregated data of disparate data types into data of a uniform data type comprising: receiving aggregated data of disparate data types;translating the aggregated data of disparate data types into translated content comprising text content and markup associated with the text content; andembedding at least one audio hyperlink within the translated content.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein embedding at least one audio hyperlink within the translated content further comprises: identifying a portion of the translated content to associate with an audio hyperlink;identifying a Uniform Resource Identifier (‘URI’) identifying a resource to be accessed by invoking the audio hyperlink;determining one or more keywords for invoking the audio hyperlink; andassociating with the portion of the translated content the URL and the one or more keywords.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein determining one or more keywords for invoking the audio hyperlink further comprises selecting one or more key words in dependence upon the content of the resource identified by the URI.

4. The method of claim 2 further comprising identifying an audio indication for identifying of the existence of the audio hyperlink and associating the audio indication with the portion of the translated content.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein associating with the portion of the translated content the URL and the one or more keywords further comprises creating an anchor element including an identification of the portion of the translated content, a grammar, and a URL.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising: dynamically creating grammar sets for the text content; andassociating the grammar sets with the text content.

7. A system for synthesizing aggregated data of disparate data types into data of a uniform data type, the system comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions capable of: receiving aggregated data of disparate data types;translating the aggregated data of disparate data types into translated content comprising text content and markup associated with the text content; andembedding at least one audio hyperlink within the translated content.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the computer memory also has disposed within it computer program instructions capable of: identifying a portion of the translated content to associate with an audio hyperlink;identifying a Uniform Resource Identifier (‘URI’) identifying a resource to be accessed by invoking the audio hyperlink;determining one or more keywords for invoking the audio hyperlink; andassociating with the portion of the translated content the URL and the one or more keywords.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the computer memory also has disposed within it computer program instructions capable of selecting one or more key words in dependence upon the content of the resource identified by the URI.

10. The system of claim 8 the computer memory also has disposed within it computer program instructions capable of identifying an audio indication for identifying of the existence of the audio hyperlink and associating the audio indication with the portion of the translated content.

11. The system of claim 8 wherein the computer memory also has disposed within it computer program instructions capable of creating an anchor element including an identification of the portion of the translated content, a grammar, and a URL.

12. The system of claim 7 wherein the computer memory also has disposed within it computer program instructions capable of: dynamically creating grammar sets for the text content; andassociating the grammar sets with the text content.

13.
