  • Patent number: 7382867
    Abstract: Personalized voice survey delivery systems and methods in which a computer identifies a person to be surveyed, including his or her phone number or Internet login to a specific website, or email address, together with specific identifiers for the person, such as the person's name. The person's phone number is dialed and when the call is answered, the computer concatenates the files having the digitized identifiers such as the person's name, with the file that is the standard message to be delivered as the initial survey content. Computer-generated personalized voice messages are created by concatenating data files of audio that were pre-recorded in the voice of an individual whose live voice is to be simulated during the delivery of the voice survey.

  • Patent number: 7206390
    Abstract: Computer-generated personalized voice messages are created by concatenating data files of audio that were pre-recorded in the voice of an individual whose live voice is to be simulated during the delivery of the voice message. A call to a person or list of persons is placed by a computer. Common identifiers of each person to be called are read from a data base of data files, and matched with a separate data base containing recorded voice phrases, each of which is a digitization of the individual speaking content corresponding to the identifier—such as the person's first name. The recorded voice phrase audio is concatenated with at least one other audio file, which is a digitization of a message to be delivered to the called person.
