The Future of Speech Synthesis

Voice Synthesis for Audio Description

Overview: This section discusses the use of voice synthesis for audio description for the vision impaired community, and how it can open up content to a segment of the population that has not been able to experience it.

Localization with Voice Synthesis

• The goal of localization is for the audience to think that the content was originally shot in the language they are hearing.

• The human brain is sensitive to real and not real, and when something is not real, the audience is not as engaged.

• It will be interesting to see how voice synthesis technologies are used in the next couple of years.
