Google Announces General Availability of Cloud Text-to-Speech

InfoQ
GoogleCloud

I wish I could say I understand this - but I can only grasp the general outline, which is amazing enough. Computers can use speech to talk, and understand speech when they hear it.

This spoken speech is so natural, a person cannot tell if a person or a computer is making it. And they can do it in many languages, and dialects. American English, or British English - for example.

And this capability is available on the Google Cloud. You can rent whatever speech capability you need, and pay for just that much.

Microsoft claims Windows 10 can do this - but it can't do it very well, at least not yet.
