A lot of our customers use us [0] for that, it works pretty well if executed properly. The voiceovers work best as inserts into an existing podcast. If you see the articles of major news orgs like NYT, they often have a (usually) machine narrated voiceover.
Yeah, neural codecs are pretty amazing. The most incredible part is that they can do compression well across the temporal domain, something which has been non-trivial.
Their sentence segmentation heuristics were not configured correctly. It's not an inherent limitation of the technology itself.
The newer transformer based generators are a bit better in this regard (since they can maintain a longer context window, not just in short tiny snippets).
Since it does the signal processing in the Fourier domain, does this suffer from audio artefacts e.g. hissing in the output? Torch's inverse STFT uses Griffin-Lim which is probabilistic and if you don't train it sufficiently, you may sometimes get noise in the output.
> Recognizes "human" and recognizes "desk". I sit on desk. Does AI mark it as a desk or as a chair?
Not an issue if the image segmentation is advanced enough. You can train the model to understand "human sitting". It may not generalize to other animals sitting but human action recognition is perfectly possible right now.
Your average mobile processor doesn't have anywhere near enough processing power to run a state of the art text to speech network in real-time. Most text to speech on mobile hardware are stream from the cloud.
So if I am launching a Spotify/Audible-style music/audiobook streaming platform, how will the pricing work out? Do we pay you instead of the original author for any user uploaded content? If the original author chooses to upload their content onto our platform, do we scan it with your API and explicitly whitelist it and pay them directly?
Your company looks very cool btw. What's your email?
Some ETFs also allow easy investment in stocks of foreign countries without requiring additional brokerages on behalf of the end user. I presume this does not offer that functionality?
