  • Patent number: 12315489
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a voice request to generate synthesized voiceover speech for a target advertisement having one or more advertising campaign attributes. The method also includes generating, based on the one or more advertising campaign attributes, a voiceover script that includes a sequence of text for the synthesized voiceover speech. The method also includes generating, using a text-to-speech (TTS) system, the synthesized voiceover speech. The TTS system is configured to receive, as input, the sequence of text for the voiceover script and generate, as output, the synthesized voiceover speech. Here, the synthesized voiceover speech has speech characteristics specified by a target TTS vertical. The method also includes overlaying the synthesized voiceover speech on the target advertisement.

  • Patent number: 9809175
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for mounting an object within a vehicle are disclosed. One apparatus includes a base, a neck, and a pair of legs. The neck extends from the base, and has a length that is adjustable relative to the base. The legs extend from the base in substantially a same plane as the neck. Each leg has a holding portion configured to hold the object. The legs are rotatable relative to the base such that rotation of one leg causes rotation of the other leg. One method includes positioning the object adjacent a base of a mounting apparatus, adjusting a length of a neck of the apparatus to accommodate the object, and rotating a pair of legs of the apparatus such that holding portions on the legs hold the object, the pair of legs rotatable such that rotation of one leg causes rotation of the other leg.
