Abstract
Abstract In the past few years, high-quality automated text-to-speech synthesis has effectively become a commodity, with easy access to cloud-based APIs provided by a number of major players. At the same time, developments in deep learning have broadened the scope of voice synthesis functionalities that can be delivered, leading to a growth in the range of commercially viable use cases. We take a look at the technology features and use cases that have attracted attention and investment in the past few years, identifying the major players and recent start-ups in the space.
期刊介绍：
Natural Language Engineering meets the needs of professionals and researchers working in all areas of computerised language processing, whether from the perspective of theoretical or descriptive linguistics, lexicology, computer science or engineering. Its aim is to bridge the gap between traditional computational linguistics research and the implementation of practical applications with potential real-world use. As well as publishing research articles on a broad range of topics - from text analysis, machine translation, information retrieval and speech analysis and generation to integrated systems and multi modal interfaces - it also publishes special issues on specific areas and technologies within these topics, an industry watch column and book reviews.
