Abstract: Memory management for object oriented applications during run time includes loading an object oriented application into a computer memory. The object oriented application includes a plurality of nodes in a classification tree, the nodes including key value pairs. The nodes are aggregated in the classification tree by a computer. The aggregating includes eliminating redundant keys and creating a composite node. The composite node is loaded into the computer memory. The plurality of nodes in the classification tree are removed from the computer memory in response to loading the composite node into the computer memory.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for the transcoding of annotated text to speech and audio. Source text is parsed into spoken text passages and sound description passages. A speaker identity is determined for each spoken text passage and a sound element for each sound description passage. The speaker identities and sound elements are automatically referenced to a voice and sound effects schema. A voice effect is associated with each speaker identity and a sound effect with each sound element. Each spoken text passage is then annotated with the voice effect associated with its speaker identity and each sound description passage is annotated with the sound effect associated with its sound element. The resulting annotated spoken text and sound description passages are processed to generate output text operable to be transcoded to speech and audio.
