- GFischer 9y agoSeconded, AWS Polly should be good, there's also Bing Speech https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/speech/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service... Google WaveNet promises even better audio, but it's not available yet. In my experience, Amazon is "good enough". https://deepmind.com/blog/wavenet-generative-model-raw-audio/ https://deepmind.com/blog/wavenet-generative-model-raw-audio...
- oftenwrong 9y agoI just gave it a go. It does a good job, but still the pacing and intonation are unnatural and difficult to follow. If this is the current state-of-the-art, or close to it, I would rather just read. It is possible I could train myself to listen to it. Hats off to the developers, though. I know human-like text-to-speech is difficult.
