Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are generally described for providing an audio interface. In some examples, first voice data of a first narrator and a second voice data of a second narrator are received and the second voice data is transformed by a voice transformation function. At least a part of a first text data is converted into a first synthesized voice data based, at least in part, on the first voice data and at least a part of a second text data is converted into a second synthesized voice data based, at least in part, on the transformed second voice data by applying a voice transformation function which maximizes a feature difference between the first voice data and the transformed second voice data. The first synthesized voice data and the second synthesized voice data are provided in parallel on a temporal axis via the voice interface system.

Abstract: Techniques for content providing and classifying users based on content search conditions are generally described. In some examples, the techniques may be embodied in apparatus, systems, and methods. An example content providing apparatus may include a receiving unit, a classifying unit, a content acquisition unit, and a determining unit. The receiving unit may be configured to receive content search conditions and the classifying unit may be configured to classify users into types according to the search conditions. The content acquisition unit may be configured to acquire content that includes non-text data based on the received search conditions and the determining unit may be configured to evaluate acquired content to identify data of the non-text data in the acquired content that is firstly processed to output based on the user type.
