Those samples sound already frighteningly human.
Not to disparage the DeepVoice3 in anyway! There must have been a lot of work put into it.
- throwaway84742 9y agoThis is scary good. The only way you can tell these aren’t real is because they don’t (yet) model the lung capacity, so some phrases are longer than a human would be able to pronounce on one breath. I can’t wait for this stuff to become mainstream.
