The phone number is a really fun demo! The pronunciation is off on a number of things: "LLM", dates ending w/ "AD", but the response delays are surprisingly short and the conversation is very natural. The 'bored and slightly annoyed' vocals make the generally helpful tone of the agent seem very sarcastic. Very funny and interesting!
- ajaynraj 4y agoThanks! It's a collab with rime.ai TTS. Unlike a lot of other TTS providers, they train on conversation, not podcasts/audiobooks so you get those disfluencies in speech that make it seem natural!
- ljclifford 4y agoLily from Rime here -- we were super happy to collaborate with Vocode on this amazing project. We haven't launched yet but keep an eye out later this week!
- KianHooshmand 4y agoLily is epic. Highly recommend checking out Rime when it's available!!
- pncnmnp 4y agoHey Lily, I really enjoyed reading Rime's blogs on Substack. For everyone, here's the link: https://substack.com/profile/131433903-rime-labs https://substack.com/profile/131433903-rime-labs. In fact, I had no clue about Cylinder Phonographs. Your discussion on Enrico Caruso motivated me to dig deeper. I found some cool gems: 1. History of the Cylinder Phonograph (https://www.loc.gov/collections/edison-company-motion-pictures-and-sound-recordings/articles-and-essays/history-of-edison-sound-recordings/history-of-the-cylinder-phonograph/ https://www.loc.gov/collections/edison-company-motion-pictur...) 2. How the Cylinder Phonograph Works (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWLlbk_bI7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWLlbk_bI7E) Looking forward to watching the recording of your Bay Area NLP talk!
