Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably run across the Vocabulary.com Perhaps you even weighed in, offering your two cents on the elocution of the opera singer (a member of the original Broadway cast of Cats, as it turns out) in the recording. But you probably didn't consult artificial intelligence for a second opinion. Well, not to worry: Nuance and Voxbone have saved you the trouble. Nuance Communications, a company that specializes in natural language processing, fed its Dragon speech platform the "Laurel" or "Yanny" audio clip to put an end to the debate once and for all.
