An audio information system that may be used to form and convey an audio
message having speech overlapped with non-speech audio is provided. The
system has components to store a context indicator having non-speech audio
to signify a characteristic of a speech content stream, to merge the
context indicator with the speech content stream to form an integrated
message, and to output the integrated message. The message has overlapping
non-speech audio from the context indicator and speech audio. The system
also has mechanisms to vary the format of integrated message generated in
order to train the user on non-speech cues. In addition, other aspects of
the present invention relating to the audio information system receiving
content and generating an audio message are described.
