Chips with Everything: bonus episode – podcast

The team at Guardian Voice Labs is experimenting with generating an audio news summary by blending human and synthetic voices. It's designed for Google Assistant and based on existing Guardian journalism and curation. The idea is to capitalise on the text-to-speech technology on the Assistant platform, and create a new way for people to digest the news of the day. To better explain exactly how the technology works, Jordan Erica Webber invited the product manager for the Guardian Voice Lab, Jeremy Pennycook, into the studio.
