Embodiments provide a method and system for audio generation from contextual text input is provided. The disclosure gives due importance to the granularity of the content. The system allows the user to specify the properties of the audio to be generated. Here, context is used to identify the importance of a particular sound over the others and thus automatic adjustments of the audio output to give a more realistic feel. The system generates dataset for training audio models. The user can give input query in natural language and the audio requested will be generated for training and developing the necessary classification or other necessary audio models. The system provides a feature of automated fine-tuning of the model parameters to suit the new automatically collected training data. Furthermore, the system provides a pre-trained inbuilt model repository with audio models belonging to the main categories of noises.

Disclosed herein is a sound synthesis system for generating a user defined synthesised sound effect, the system comprising: a receiver of user defined inputs for defining a sound effect; a generator of control parameters in dependence on the received user defined inputs; a plurality of sound effect objects, wherein each sound effect object is arranged to generate a different class of sound and each sound effect object comprises a sound synthesis model arranged to generate a sound in dependence on one or more of the control parameters; a plurality of audio effect objects, wherein each audio effect object is arranged to receive a sound from one or more sound effect objects and/or one or more other audio effect objects, process the received sound in dependence on one or more of the control parameters and output the processed sound; a scene creation function arranged to receive sound output from one or more sound effect objects and/or audio effect objects and to generate a synthesised sound effect in dependence on the received sound; and an audio routing function arranged to determine the arrangement of audio effect objects, sound effect objects and scene creation function such that one or more sounds received by the scene creation function are dependent on the audio routing function; wherein the determined arrangement of audio effect objects, sound effect objects and the scene creation function by the audio routing function is dependent on the user defined inputs.

A portable electronic animal call device comprising a housing, a memory, a plurality of user inputs, a speaker, an amplifier, a power source, a status indicator, and a controller for controlling the electronic components. The housing encloses the electronic components and includes a plurality of sound openings near the speaker. The housing also includes a plurality of ridges and recesses for gripping the device. The memory stores animal sound files therein. The inputs include a power button, a plurality of animal sound selection buttons, and one or more volume inputs. The user holds or presses the power button to turn on and off the device and to resume and pause an animal sound. The user presses one of the animal sound selection buttons to select and play a desired animal sound. The status indicator communicates a power or animal sound status via LED light or similar alert.

To monitor wildlife, including upland game birds, it is imperative to do so without human interaction and intervention, and therefore requires monitoring from a remote location. The embodiment of this invention described herein is an apparatus, contained in an environmentally impervious enclosure, to which consistent power is provided through solar radiation, a power management module is connected which conserves power to the apparatus, wildlife calls are selected through a human interface that operates in extreme environments, wildlife calls which beckon wildlife to the location are emitted periodically, wildlife behavior is visually recorded, and recorded images which detail movement are transmitted through wireless protocols. The specific site may have predator proof food and water or other such motivations for the wildlife to return to the site upon being called. With upland game birds, this may be a rallying call, specific to each game bird species. With other wildlife species, this could be a mating call, as an example.
