Google Creates A Text To Speech AI system Alike Human voice

Google has plunged high towards its'AI-first' dream. The tech giant has attempted to develop a Text-to-speech system that has exactly human-like articulation. This AI system is called "Tacotron 2" that has the ability to give an AI-generated computer speech in a human-voice. Google researchers mentioned in the blog post that the new procedure does not utitilise complex linguistic and acoustic features as input. In place of it, they developed human-like speech from text using neural networks trained using only speech examples and corresponding text transcript. Google's CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the company will be shifting its focus from mobile-first to AI-first at the Google I/O 2017 developers conference.
