By any chance, do you know which technology was used for the TikTok voice? While the voice itself is somewhat annoying I find the quality stunning. Any chance to reach this level with any of the models you mentioned?
- Gigachad 5y agoIs the quality that good? It seemed to me that text to speech was not a particularly hard problem when you can get someone to read out all the sounds of the language. And that the new advancement we have now is just being able to dump our normal speech audio and build a model based on that.
- weinzierl 5y agoNot sure. So far, I found every text to speech application quite uncanny. The ones that come with Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS are good, but not quite there. The TikTok one is the first to sound quite convincing for me. Siri and Alexa are also good but I think they don't count, because they probably are not purely text to speech but presumably use a lot of prerecorded phrases, especially for the common answers.
- JohnHaugeland 5y agoi actively dislike the tiktok voice. i find the microsoft and google cloud voices to be much better.
- weinzierl 5y agoYou are not alone. Especially when it is used in contexts that do not fit its overly enthusiastic upbeat mood the results range from slightly comical to deeply unsettling. Still, in my opinion it is really good from a technical point of view.
