Abstract

A computer converts each content sources from textual content to speech comprising a separate audio selection. The computer applies, to each audio selection, one or more speech attributes to specify the audio attributes that select a respective position of the respective audio selection from among multiple positions within a multidimensional sound space and audibly distinguish one or more characteristics of the respective audio selection from other audio selections, wherein the respective position of the respective audio selection reflects a rank of the respective audio selection as ordered by interest to a user. The computer outputs a simultaneous stream of the multiple audio selections to an audio output device for stereo play of the audio selections within the multiple positions within the multidimensional sound space to the user, with the multiple positions reflecting the content sources ordered by interest.
