Kinda a strange way to go about this, but interesting none the less. I don't know much about Lyrebird or how long they've been around, but as others have noted.

I want to use it, but I wouldn't use it for any real products today. Amazon Poly isn't amazing either, but sounds more natural than these samples. Yes, it's only a few stock voices, but it's a lot closer.
- phkahler 8y ago>> this sounds like a really terrible voice call at best Do you believe this isn't an advertisement for Lyrebird?
- ShakataGaNai 8y agoTo be a good ad for Lyrebird, I would have at least put a ton more into the Obama/Trump voice samples. Enough that they didn't sound like they came out of a voip connection from the 1980's. All the current demo's make me think is "Well, if I'm going to do anything voice, use Poly". Like I said, it's a really cool idea. If I could realistically duplicate my voice I'd certainly use that. But as of right now... meh.
- inawarminister 8y agoAgain, it's not the quality per se, but the software mimicking your personal voice with accents, personal quibbles (like I think the BuzzFeed writer pronounce words with a high pitch in the middle?) to lead the person on the other side of the line to conclude "oh yeah, it's him/her". You know, voice call sound quality go full terrible in real life too. If, say, one of my ex-gf or even my sister suddenly call and sounded a bit robotic like this I would believe them to be who they claim to be, no contest.
