Description

A dynamic text-to-speech (TTS) process and system are described. In response to receiving a command to provide information to a user, a device retrieves information and determines user and environment attributes including: (i) a distance between the device and the user when the user uttered the query; and (ii) voice features of the user. Based on the user and environment attributes, the device determines a likely mood of the user, and a likely environment in which the user and user device are located in. An audio output template matching the likely mood and voice features of the user is selected. The audio output template is also compatible with the environment in which the user and device are located. The retrieved information is converted into an audio signal using the selected audio output template and output by the device.
