RE: Apple Quietly Launches a Selection of Audiobooks Voiced by an AI Robot, Mac Daily News

2023-01-18 Thread literophilus 
Well, all I can say is that, in all certainty, I flatly believe that such 
digital voices are quite good for some books, not for all. However, I also 
believe that is fair to say that AI is just going to get better at this point. 
Inflection and intonation based on particular emotions shouldn't be too 
difficult to emulate in the future. In all likelihood, this is already a 
factual phenomenon in AI labs.

So I must admit that is quite amazing and I wonder exactly what is involved 
when they say "This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice 
based on a human narrator" I guess Siri is or at least was based on this 
ladie's voice, forgot her name when Siri originally came out, but it certainly 
did not sound this good and neither do the Siri voices sound this good now. I 
wonder if such voices will be available as Voiceover voices at some point.

I agree, Christopher. I don't want Eloquence. Besides, the iPhone speech speed 
can be adjusted. I currently have mine at 55% with Evan Enhanced. I can 
understand Evan well, think I'll stick with that one for a while anyway.

Well, I used to use Eloquence on my PC and then I switched to eSpeak when I was 
using Linux. Now that I’m an old man, I figure I deserve a nice quality voice, 
and I’m not in a hurry like I was when I wore a younger man’s clothes!

Her voice sounds really good. Premium quality is amazing on some of those 
voices that offer all three voice types. By the way, it was kind of funny to 
read your message. Christopher with the good news, voice singing your whole 
email message quite interesting. Indeed I switched it to eloquence though, 
because then I can hear it at a much faster speed that I’m used to reading

RE: Taking photos off an IPhone

2021-10-04 Thread literophilus 
Hi, I needed to do the same, and this morning I found this on internet. I 
particularly followed the specific instructions to transfer photos from the 
iPhone to a PC running Windows 10 and using the Photos App. It was super easy, 
and best of all, and the end a question popped up asking me if I wanted to 
delete all photos from the source, and I hit the "yes" button. Just what I 
wanted, my gallery is empty now, and I got my photos in my PC Read this:

Don't you use Dropbox or OneDrive? That would be a much easier way especially 
to get them onto a PC, just enable camera roll in either Dropbox or OneDrive 
and all your photos magically appear on your PC and if you want you can still 
move them out of the Dropbox or OneDrive folder especially if you use the free 
versions and have limited space.

RE: the Alex voice

2021-08-26 Thread literophilus 
Hi, my opinion may be helpful, at least to some extent, since I’m not a native 
speaker and English is a language I’ve learned as an adult. I used Alex for a 
couple of years on my iphone, but I noticed that at times it mispronounced some 
words,  at other times I wasn’t able to understand it because the 
pronunciation, although close to an accurate pronunciation,  was 
unconventional.  So, now I use Tom, which from my perspective, is more 
understandable.  70 percent is my speaking rate.  

I believe that the high quality thing has nothing to do with this, and instead 
of that, there might be other possible explanations beyond the simplistic and 
simplifying cliché of saying that this is a subjective matter. In my computer, 
for instance, I love to use the Eloquence voice in English as well.  Some 
friends of mine that are native speakers were surprised that I use Eloquence at 
a very high rate speed, and still being  able to understand it.  

 

Best,

 Leo Bado.

Spotify, Pandora, iHeart Radio are all Free to an extent, meaning that there is 
a limited number of skips when listen to music & there ads that can't be 
dismissed.  A paid subscription gets you unlimited skips & is ad free. I'm 
cheap, so I use the Free service of the apps.

 

Donna So, then, Spotify is not free?

RE: Uploading video to Instagram using Backpack Studio

2021-05-19 Thread literophilus 
Hi Wendy,

I would do it if I enjoyed  recording myself on video, but I don’t. I use 
Backpack Studio because I can easily record audio, convert it into video, and 
upload it to Instagram. 

 

Best,

 Leo Bado.

Hello,

 

Well I normally upload videos to Instagram using my iPhone. I barely really use 
Instagram anywhere else.

Is someone else having this problem?
