The service, named Cloud Text-to-Speech, will be available for any developer or business that needs voice synthesis on tap, whether that’s for an app, website, or virtual assistant. But what’s particularly interesting about this news is that Cloud Text-to-Speech is powered by WaveNet, software created by Google’s UK-based AI subsidiary DeepMind. This is significant for two reasons. First, ever since Google bought DeepMind in 2014, it’s been exploring ways to turn the company’s AI talent into tangible products. So far, this has meant using DeepMind’s algorithms to reduce electricity costs for cooling in Google’s data centers by 40 percent and DeepMind’s forays into health care. But, directly integrating WaveNet into its cloud service is arguably more significant, especially as Google tries to win cloud business away from Amazon and Microsoft, presenting its AI skills as its differentiating factor. </blockquote> Read more: https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/27/17167200/google-ai-speech-tts-cloud-deepmind-wavenet <hr> I wonder how long it will take for this to be baked into Chrome so you can have the web read to you. I wonder how well it handles being sped up. I think they should dedicate some work into optimizing text-rapid speech and save us all some time. <h4>Leave your thoughts in the comments below.</h4> <hr> Follow @contentjunkie to stay up to date on more great posts like this one. <a href="https://steemit.com/@contentjunkie"><img src="http://i.imgsafe.org/dd8bd8753d.gif"></a> <hr> <center><h4><strong>Click one of the links below to signup for a free crypto trading account</strong></h4></center> <div class="pull-right"><a href="https://www.kucoin.com/#/?r=14rgy"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmRxFEaTBZXepQoU6wzX3YxPUYg8zkMH5ecX67HXes6mtE/image.png"></a> </div> <div class="pull-left"><a href="https://www.coinbase.com/join/5a3060368da046013533d035"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmQrb5MJgqbRqAabX7gMAKww7b2G7EWyCC3ALz3nuQR4xy/image.png"></a></div> <center> <a href="https://www.binance.com/?ref=13619930"><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmS8Y5PoVJenL4Qo3WhRg1YWJ9VGcQRhFKQNx8BLePx3iZ/image.png"></a> </center>
