Electronic reading apparatus and voice reading loading method

Abstract

The invention provides an electronic reading apparatus and a voice reading loading method. The voice reading loading method includes the following steps: a typesetting engine conducting type setting on an analyzed text, and the type setting includes: segmenting the text in according with preset sentence segmenting rules and recording in successive order coordinate information of each sentence and a corresponding sentence number; conducting sentence segmenting on the text which has been subject to the type setting in accordance with the preset sentence segmenting rules and adding a only identifier at the end of each sentence that has been segmented so as to form a new sentence with the only identifier; sending the newly segmented sentence to a voice synthesizing engine so as to form audio data and recording the position of a starting character corresponding with the new sentence and also recording the number of the synthesized sentences; executing voice reading from the selected sentence.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to an electronic reading device and a voice reading loading method. Background technique [0002] Common e-book reading software currently on the market has the function of listening to books (that is, voice reading), but all need to transmit the read text data to a speech synthesis engine for speech synthesis, thereby converting text or words into speech data. The conversion process is calculated by the number of converted characters. For example, a text has 3 sentences, the first sentence has 20 characters, the second sentence has 10 characters, and the third sentence has 30 characters; After 40 characters, the synthesis progress of the speech engine is 67%. Through this progress, only the current character position can be known, but there is no way to locate the current progress. This is because the existing speech synthesis engine does not have sentence segmentation Function....

Problems solved by technology

This brings about a problem: when the user needs to skip sentences to listen to the voice reading, for example, jump directly from the first sentence to the third sentence to listen to the voice reading, at this time it is impossible to determine whether the third sentence has been synthesized into voice data, which can only be synthesized again

This way of working has caused a great waste of the performance of the terminal equipment, especially the smart mobile terminal, and the voice reading speed of the skip sentence will be very slow, especially when the selected sentence is later, such as the 15th sentence, the 20th sentence sentence, or the 30th sentence, etc., which will cause a poor user experience
