Show HN: Chat App with AWS Polly Text-To-Speech
- taude 8y agoI saw another article on HN [1] where AWS embedded the Polly-text-to-speech technology to read an article. I hope a lot of progress gets made into this where we can have non-computer sounding voices as it still sounds almost awkwardly digital, as well as control the speed of playback, etc. It'd be a great source of having content read to me while I commute without having the production of a podcast or audible book. There are several times I'd love to have NY Times articles read to me while I wander around the house.

- ajb413 8y agoThe voice isn't quite human yet but we've come a long way since Microsoft Sam. Wordpress has an Amazon Polly plugin so bloggers can add a read aloud feature to their blog posts. So far, I've heard it trying to read the page's HTML in addition to article content.
