FWIW I think TTS is a bad interface. That said, IBM Watson is getting pretttty good. Check it out, they're willing to work with startups too.

- joefarish 11y agoDo you mean the current execution is bad or that it is just a bad concept? I can think of plenty of times where TTS is the perfect interface for the problem at hand. For example, a Sat Nav giving turn by turn directions.
- tomasien 11y agoThat is true - all voice related interfaces are best exemplified with travel. STT for example is best when you're alone and can't use your hands aka driving. TTS is best for the same set of situations, so listening to articles on the train or getting directions read back. In general, TTS is a better interface than STT, both are (in my very, very humble opinion) bad interfaces.
