Computer parts maker NVIDIA recently unveiled tools that can capture the sound of natural speech by letting you train an AI with your voice. The software can also translate one speaker’s words into another’s voice. It’s part of a growing effort to make computer speech more realistic.
“Advanced AI speech technology allows users to speak naturally, combining multiple questions into a single sentence without having to constantly repeat details from the original question,” Michael Zagorsek, COO of speech recognition company SoundHound, told Lifewire in an email interview.
“The addition of multiple languages, now available on most speech AI platforms, makes digital voice assistants accessible in more regions and to more populations,” he added.
