Apps such as textPlus and WhatsApp use Text-to-Speech to read notifications aloud and provide voice-reply functionality. Google Cloud Text-to-Speech is powered by WaveNet, [5] software created by Google's UK-based AI subsidiary DeepMind, which was bought by Google in 2014. [6] It tries to distinguish from its competitors, Amazon and Microsoft. [7]
The first version of the Microsoft Speech API was released for Windows NT 3.51 and Windows 95 in 1995, it was then part of Windows up to Windows Vista. This initial version already contained Direct Speech Recognition and Direct Text To Speech APIs which applications could use to directly control engines, as well as simplified 'higher-level ...
Google Cloud Platform is a part [8] of Google Cloud, which includes the Google Cloud Platform public cloud infrastructure, as well as Google Workspace (G Suite), enterprise versions of Android and ChromeOS, and application programming interfaces (APIs) for machine learning and enterprise mapping services.
The APIs provide functionality like analytics, machine learning as a service (the Prediction API) or access to user data (when permission to read the data is given). Another important example is an embedded Google map on a website, which can be achieved using the Static Maps API, [1] Places API [2] or Google Earth API. [3]
A region refers to a geographic location of Google's infrastructure facility. Users can choose to deploy their resources in one of the available regions based on their requirement. As of June 1, 2014, Google Compute Engine is available in central US region, Western Europe and Asia East region. A zone is an isolated location within a region.
The Speech Application Programming Interface or SAPI is an API developed by Microsoft to allow the use of speech recognition and speech synthesis within Windows applications. To date, a number of versions of the API have been released, which have shipped either as part of a Speech SDK or as part of the Windows OS itself.
Kaldi is an open-source speech recognition toolkit written in C++ for speech recognition and signal processing, freely available under the Apache License v2.0.. Kaldi aims to provide software that is flexible and extensible, [2] and is intended for use by automatic speech recognition (ASR) researchers for building a recognition system.
The Lyra codec is designed to transmit speech in real-time when bandwidth is severely restricted, such as over slow or unreliable network connections. [1] It runs at fixed bitrates of 3.2, 6, and 9 kbit/s and it is intended to provide better quality than codecs that use traditional waveform-based algorithms at similar bitrates.
