It is without doubt very impressive, but on longer texts the lack of understanding will be apparent. Wrong semantic stresses, incorrect pronunciation of homographs, maybe inconsistent pronunciation of names, and so on.
Perfect speech synthesis from unannotated text will require much more complex system. It will need database of common knowledge in some form, ability to relate text to that database, ability to retain and use this semantic information to guide synthesis. That is, it should be a step closer to artificial general intelligence.
- jerf 10y agoI'd say even in these samples there's still some errors. The intonation on "brown" in "quick brown fox" is still wrong. "AllHipHop" is not pronounced as a human would, though I'll grant you that's a made-up word so I wouldn't even expect a non-native human speaker to necessarily get that one right. Still, the quality is such that I'm only observing this in the spirit of scientific analysis. It's some good quality.
- iamed2 10y agoI wonder whether it would have been more natural if it was written as "quick, brown fox" as would be customary English. Usually when adjectives don't have commas between them it's because the last adjective is coupled to the noun.
