Speech to text programs have gotten a lot better in the last few years but
text to speech programs have not, they sound as bad as they did 5 years ago.
I'm not talking about nuances in inflection or voice fonts, if it sounded as
well as a half asleep human with a bad tooth and a head cold I'd be happy.
I'm no expert on either technology but it would seem to me that text to
speech would be much easier than the other way round, yet less progress has
been made, anybody know why?
