Does anybody find it funny that sci-fi movies have to heavily distort "robot voices" to make them sound "convincingly robotic"? A robotic, explicitly non-natural voice would be perfectly acceptable, and even desirable, in many situations. I don't expect a smart toaster to talk like a BBC host; it'd be enough is the speech if easy to recognize.

Is this english only?
But yeah, if it's like any of the others we'll likely see a different "model" per language down the line based on the same techniques

That being said, the ‘classical’ (pre-AI) speech synthesisers are much smaller than kitten, so you’re not wrong per se, just for the wrong reason.

What's a good one in reverse; speech to text?
