How Google's text-to-speech API performs when reading the New York Times

Demo of Google text-to-speech Wavenet API on a NYT article

Was curious if Google's text-to-speech API might be good enough for generating audio versions of stories on-the-fly. Google has offered traditional computer voices for awhile, but last year made available their premium WaveNet voices, which are trained using audio recorded from human speakers, and are purportedly capable of mimicking natural-sounding inflection and rhythm.

tl;dr results

Pretty good...but I honestly can't tell the difference between the standard voice and the WaveNet version, at least when it comes to intonation and inflection. The first 2 grafs of this NYT story, roughly 85 words/560 characters, took less than 2 seconds to process. The result in both cases is a 37-second second audio file.

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016
