#2Is this enough to beat voice recognition software?
If you thought fake news was bad before wait until these 'secret' recordings start getting released and reported on.

Imagine when entire videos can be synthesized.

#4Impressive.
But also enabling the next gen of "Mom, I'm in Mexican jail. Quickly wire me $2,000 so I can get out." scams.

#6This is pretty cool (although, I have no idea what other technologies exist for this kind of thing), but it's definitely not convincing enough to a human listener. This sounds like it might be convincing enough for some programs like "Hey, Siri" but it's not gonna convince your mom. You can listen to the samples on the page linked here and you can immediately tell that Obama and Trump don't sound quite human.

I think its good if a tech like this is publicly available. It will be used by comedians and satire outlets and over time raise awareness about possible fakes - pics/video or it did not happen... Well, no problem anymore ;-)

#9This site has a "demo" section featuring only Soundcloud clips. Uses to much the present tense "In a world first, Montreal-based startup Lyrebird today unveiled" and "Record 1 minute [...] and Lyrebird can [..]Use this key to generate anything" but has no actual product or beta version. Adobe had a much more impressive sneak peek of a similar product called VoCo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3l4XLZ59iw
