A client computing system sends to a server system a presentation request for an audio presentation of electronic communications, and receives a manifest from the server system. The manifest indicates a plurality of segment-specific retrieval locations in which a different one of the plurality of segment-specific retrieval locations is indicated for each of a plurality of text-to-speech audio segments of the audio presentation. For each of the plurality of text-to-speech audio segments, the client computing system identifies a presentation order of the text-to-speech audio segment within the audio presentation; sends to the server system a segment request for the text-to-speech audio segment at the segment-specific retrieval location for that text-to-speech audio segment; receives from the server system the text-to-speech audio segment responsive to the segment request for that text-to-speech audio segment; and outputs the text-to-speech audio segment in the identified presentation order.

Text-to-speech audio segment retrieval

In some examples, application startup control may include determining a relationship between a first page and a second page of an application, and generating a first code file for the first page based upon the determined relationship. Application startup control may further include generating a second code file for the second page. The first code file may include code to load the second code file in response to the first code file being loaded and executed.

Application startup control

Examples of the disclosure enable one or more operations to be executed or implemented while managing computational resources. In some examples, an instruction to implement a first operation is received. The first operation is associated with a first node of a plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes are arranged in a plurality of regions. A second node of the plurality of nodes that is related to the first node is identified. On condition that the second node is arranged in an active region of the plurality of regions, a second operation associated with the second node is implemented within a period of time. On condition that the second node is not arranged in the active region, the second operation is not implemented within the period of time. Aspects of the disclosure enable a computing device to defer the implementation of an operation to facilitate managing computational resources.

Generating a deferrable data flow

Examples of the disclosure provide for receiving a data set at a design surface from a data source, and inferring a first data type from the data set. A first control type is generated for the inferred first data type. A second data type is inferred from the data set and a second control type is generated for the inferred second data type, with the first control type and the second control type being different. A layout is generated for an application document that includes the first control type and the second control type.
