#AI text to speech

[bizarrepotpourri]

I'm testing various text-to-speech services, and the first and very promising one is Typecast. It's super clunky and I had to go through their voice library (very limited on their free plan) to find one that could do emotions for Agnes, and it's still far from perfect (it's like a bad JRPG dub from early 2000s!), but the fact that it even allows for reading the text with emotional charge is the promising part.

This content was produced with Typecast, an AI virtual actor service. Characters casted:  Jack (The Liege) Olivia (Lady Agnes) https://typecast.ai

And this was generated in the free video editor for Windows 11, ClipChamp. It's terribly basic and the only thing it has in its defense is putting American and British English voices separately. But as you can hear, they're still awkward and mechanical.

Also, there's a slight difference in phrasing between the two recordings - the one made in ClipChamp comes from the published version of "Swift Justice", the one made in Typecast is a new rewrite.

My only real gripe with Dropout is their subtitling. It is horrendous, I think especially on D20. Constant mistakes and seems like every other line won't make sense if you're deaf or hard-of-hearing.

I just have auditory processing issues so most of the time I can tell that the captions are wrong, but I can't imagine how misleading the captions are to folks with less of an ability to decipher the audio.

Like I'm sorry to sound harsh but hire someone new for that department, because the quality control is abysmal.

I can't stop thinking about the post I saw last night that said "fics with em dashes are probably AI generated cuz humans rarely use those" and like. I defended em dashes vehemently in the tags of that post. but em dashes aside, "anything with X is probably AI generated cuz humans rarely use/say that" is a terrible rubric. cuz AI is literally predictive text. it's basically just a really advanced version of that thing your phone does where it suggests what word you should use next. and it's trained on human-written content. and tries to mimic human-written text. so anything that humans rarely use or say is something that, by extension, AI would rarely use or say because if it wasn't common in its training data then it wouldn't be using it

There’s a difference between using a phone’s built in text to speech for something and using online AI voice text to speech.

One is something that has been licensed. The people who provided the voices were paid. They’ve given their ok for people to use their voice to read text.

The other is stealing people’s voices without compensation and without permission.

Please for the love of God don’t get them mixed up. Just because something uses text-to-speech doesn’t automatically make it evil and bad and on the side of AI taking jobs.

i downloaded an AI voice mod for morrowind and its fucking awesome. i want to see AI used as a tool more often, because thats what it is, a tool that can be utilized by workers, not to replace them
