Abstract

In this paper we introduce a presentation agent framework for speech applications. In this framework presentation agents are used to produce dynamic, adaptive and prosody rich speech outputs. Using this framework in our speech-only e-mail reader we have been able to handle multilingual issues and support different user groups. Our goal is to build unique computer 'voices' to make speech outputs more intelligible and pleasant for the users.
