Abstract
Systems and methods may provide non-lexical cues in synthesized speech. A system may generate response text and a response intent based on user input. Non-lexical cue insertion points are determined based on the characteristics of the text and/or the intent. One or more non-lexical cues are inserted at insertion points to generate augmented text. The augmented text is synthesized into speech using speech units associated with the response text and the inserted response intent.
