Speaking as a person who doesn't know much about programming how much time does it take to generate 1 min of audio (or say 50 words)? Is it possible to integrate this in my browser?
I heard a Google TTS demo (I think it was called deepmind?) that sounds extremely human-like and I was wondering if it can be used to turn webpages into speech (I have few extension in Chrome but those voices sound very robotic and it's hard to hear them after 2 mins).
Anyway congrats for making this. I'm nowhere near as smart to understand how it works just that it's getting better and more human like everyday!
- yorwba 9y agoIf it's possible to fine-tune on 1 minute of audio in 10 minutes (which very likely requires more than 10 passes), it should be possible to run this model with real-time throughput (at least using a decent GPU). The technology is definitely intended for reading websites to users. I'm actually not sure why Google hasn't integrated it into Chrome yet. Maybe they prefer leaving the task to the OS-level accessibility tools.
- londons_explore 9y agoThe text to speech demos google was doing are relatively computationally expensive. They couldn't afford for everyone to be text-to-speaking every web page...
