Abstract
A centralized voice service bureau is provided. The voice service bureau accepts and authenticates requests to place automated telephone calls, for example, interactive voice broadcasts. The requests are sent through the Internet or other computer network and contain structure and content sufficient to drive a text-to-speech engine. The call requests are queued and processed by a call server that establishes a connection with a user and generates speech from the content of the call request.
