Abstract
An apparatus for predicting a resultant attribute of a text file before it has been converted to an audio file by a text-to-speech converter application. In accordance with an embodiment, the apparatus includes: a receiver component for receiving a text file and a request to determine a resultant attribute of the text file before it is converted to an audio file, by a text-to-speech converter component; a calculation component for determining a file type associated with the received text file and the size of the received text file; a calculation component for identifying an attribute associated with the determined file type; and a calculation component for determining from the identified attribute and the size of the received text file a resultant attribute of the text file before it is converted to an audio file by the text-to-speech converter component.
