The male narrative voice is silky smooth. In fact I prefer to the classic YouTube male mystery voice that sounds like the narrator had a lobotomy.
Still sounds pretty fake to me. There’s a hurriedness to the speech and a monotonic uniformity in enunciation that is uncannily machine. Good to know that voice actors will have jobs for a while longer…
Yeah right. You would never pass a blind test on this.
The conversational one wouldn't, although it could pass for a bad (human) voice actor.
Why someone should listen a voice when is faster to read the blog post ?
And yes this was a snarky answer because even if you don't realize it, it was a snarky question.

My YouTube feed is currently filled with videos of whitehats hacking into Indian scam call centers. Most of the time, the giveaway is the callers' Indian accent. If you could simply type into a box and speak with an American accent, it would be really hard to get caught. We're opening a pandora's box here if I'm honest. I'm hardly one for pro-regulation, but good God, we're playing with things here that can really hu…
> If you could simply type into a box and speak with an American accent, it would be really hard to get caught. Not really. If they say "kindly do something", they are Indian scammers.

There are a lot of words and phrases that indicate that you are speaking Indian English, separate from the accent. Using "learning" as a noun is a very common one in tech.
Okay can I ask a question that has been bothering me for a long time? Why do seemingly all these text-to-speech programs attempt to produce spoken voice based solely on raw text ? Why don't they consume a MIDI-like text-markup language where you can write phonetic pronunciations along with markup about the emotion, volume, speed, etc.? I feel like this is a huge unnecessary roadblock holding back this kind of technol…
These are really impressive results! For anyone interested, my team’s singing work: https://youtu.be/LPy20zSWhZA)
No mention of any other competitors that've been doing this stuff for several years? Uberduck? Fakeyou? Coqui? 15?
> Not only can they be more cost-effective without compromising on quality... That feels dishonest. Even if this AI is just as good at speaking as a professional voice actor (which I'm not sold on), a voice actor does more than just read the line. In ideal circumstances, they have a lot of context for what their character is doing and feeling. Is this potentially a good option for saving money on video game voices? Q…
I think the 'narration' example was voice actor quality. The other two were slightly off.
