Everyone is used to Ms. Google’s voice tone in major movies. I wonder if the next natural-sounding upgrade of the full-language Speech Services by Google speech engine will suddenly make people feel like they have lost their soul? In short, Google has announced that it will upgrade its own TTS text-to-speech service to a more natural and clear voice effect.

More natural and clearer Android text-to-speech effects are coming to 64-bit models, come and hear the difference!
Google Voice service is already widely used in many online videos and even voice announcements around you and me. I believe that when everyone hears the voice that many people nickname “Miss Google”, they will easily recognize that it is the sound effect recorded from services such as text-to-speech. But over the next few weeks, all 67 languages and 421 voices supported by Google’s text-to-speech service will receive updates for clarity and natural tone. Below we simply quote Google Developer BlogEnglish example of:
This is the current version:
New version:
There are other examples on the page for listening, but unfortunately I don’t see the Chinese version. As far as it sounds right now, the accent and speech sense of the Google Voice robot seem to have improved a lot – will everyone not be able to recognize Ms. Google (worry).
According to the official statement, this wave of updates for natural speech will be provided to 64-bit Android devices. Speech Services by Google apk (v210390644 and later) will be updated directly through Google Play. The text-to-speech language update is said to have yet to be taken advantage of in features like Google Maps navigation. There are even reports that Google Voice Assistant seems to have crashed after the update.
For such an acclimatized situation, perhaps Google still needs to find a way to fix it.
In fact, at the Google I/O conference, officials announced that features such as voice assistants will also evolve. More than 700 million people around the world use Google Voice Assistant to complete daily tasks every month, and many people have become inseparable from Voice Assistant every day.
The new feature of the voice assistant, “Look and Talk,” has begun to be launched on the US version of Nest Hub. As long as you have set yourself as a user, you only need to ask questions when you look at the screen, without having to shout “Hey Google” first, making the conversation between the user and the voice assistant smoother. The Google Translate function has also added 24 new languages.
This TTS update will soon make the voice experience of this series of services more smooth and natural.
