minus-squareAnamnesis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 年前Are there any good ones nowadays that don’t sound like a robot?
minus-squarevenusaur@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·1 年前Sure there are. ElevenLabs is one. You can probably tell they’re not human but they’re really decent.
minus-squareEcho Dot@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down1·1 年前They still don’t understand the context of what they’re reading though so they can’t apply tone correctly.
minus-squaressillyssadass@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 年前From what I’ve been able to hear it’s not that bad. They’re pretty good at having a general tone. But they may fail when it comes to emotional tones, like anger or sadness. But for just reading a book aloud there shouldn’t be any issue.
minus-squarevenusaur@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前Fair. Definitely some awkward phrasing, but it’ll get better.
minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 年前Just tried it. Still a machine buy much better than default TTS.
minus-squarevenusaur@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前In 10 years it’s probably gonna be really impressive.
