Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for generating speech output from a text string. During operation, the system first receives the text string and then examines the text string to locate one or more substrings within the text string that are found in a speech library. Next, the system looks up speech files associated with the one or more substrings in the speech library. The system then concatenates these speech files to produce a speech output for a user.
