Computer Speech has Arrived

February 22, 2004 - 4:55pm — matt (not verified)

AT&T has done good work on their text-to-speech work.

This is a demo where you can type in a sentence or two and hear it 'spoken' by one of several voices.

It's surprisingly good, especially in comparison to what was available just a year ago. I can't tell if it's produced entirely via AM/RM/FM sythesis, or uses samples of human voice. Either way, try it out. You'll be hearing lots of it in the near future, in those automated telephone labyrinths, as well as radio and TV eventually.
