Abstract

The present disclosure relates to document generation, and more particularly to a system and method for generating an audio-animated document. In one embodiment, a method for generating an audio-animated document is disclosed, comprising: obtaining an extensible markup language (XML) file from a database, wherein the XML file comprises data corresponding to transactional activities over a time interval; identifying a set of phrases and one or more images from a resource library based on the XML file; generating a playback text using the set of phrases, the one or more images, the data, and a set of rules; providing one or more audio files corresponding to the playback text; and generating the audio-animated document based on the data, the one or more images, and the one or more audio files.

Claims

1. A method for generating an audio-animated document, the method being performed by a processor using programmed instructions stored in a memory, the method comprising:

obtaining an extensible markup language (XML) file from a database, wherein the XML file comprises data corresponding to transactional activities over a time interval;

identifying a set of phrases and one or more images from a resource library based on the XML file;

generating a playback text using the set of phrases, the one or more images, the data, and a set of rules;

providing one or more audio files corresponding to the playback text; and

generating the audio-animated document based on the data, the one or more images, and the one or more audio files.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the audio-animated document is at least one of a credit-card statement, bank statement, account statement or summary of financial transactions.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the audio-animated document is in at least one of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) format and a Portable Document Format (PDF) format.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transactional activities comprise at least one of financial transactions, social-media transactions, and web-based transactions.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the playback text comprises concatenating or linking the set of phrases and the data.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the set of rules is associated with the transactional activities or a spending pattern over the pre-defined time interval.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the one or more audio files comprising converting the playback text by using at least one of a Text-to-Speech converter and speech synthesis techniques.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the audio-animated document comprises a placeholder linked with a sub-set of the data, at least one image of the one or more images, and at least one audio file of the one or more audio files.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the data, the one or more audio files, and the one or more images represent an analytical summary of the transactional activities.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the one or more images comprise at least one of a pie chart, a bar chart, a line chart, an advertisement, a marketing or promotional campaign.

11. A system for generating an audio-animated document, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing processor-executable instructions comprising instructions to;

obtain an extensible markup language (XML) file from a database, wherein the XML file comprises data corresponding to transactional activities over a pre-defined time interval;

identify a set of phrases and one or more images from a resource library based on the XML file;

generate a playback text using the set of phrases, the one or more images, the data, and a set of rules;

provide one or more audio files corresponding to the playback text; and

generate the audio-animated document based on the data, the one or more images, and the one or more audio files.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the audio-animated document comprises a placeholder linked with a sub-set of the data, at least one image of the one or more images, and at least one audio file of the one or more audio files.

13. The system of claim 12, the instructions further comprising instructions to play the one or more audio files and the one or more images after receiving a selection of the placeholder from a plurality of placeholders.

14. A non-transitory computer program product having embodied thereon computer program instructions for generating an audio-animated document, the instructions comprising instructions for:

obtaining an extensible markup language (XML) file from a database, wherein the XML file comprises data corresponding to transactional activities over a time interval;

identifying a set of phrases and one or more images from a resource library based on the XML file;

generating a playback text using the set of phrases, the one or more images, the data, and a set of rules;

providing one or more audio files corresponding to the playback text; and

generating the audio-animated document based on the data, the one or more images, and the one or more audio files.
