    Abstract: A system and method provide musically integrated notifications on a user’s device, such as a phone or laptop. The notifications are received as text-based notifications and converted to speech notifications, which are typically done by virtual assistants running on the device. In the system and method disclosed herein, the speech notification undergoes further processing to match the context of music playing on the user’s device. In addition, the system and method consider the prosody of the notification to increase intelligibility of the musically integrated notification, decreasing the perceived disruption to the user.
