#fakenews is about to get a lot more scary. 😱 Looking forward to playing with this later today.

It would be interesting to be able to plug in a book, and have it read to me by myself. :D

The setup process was fun, to begin with, but a little tedious after a while. Check out what Lyrebrid was able to generate from my voice here: https://lyrebird.ai/g/MFsGnnoK Barely sounds like me apart from one or two words. Great start, can not wait to see how this improves! EDIT: For anyone interested, here is a recording of me saying the exact same words for comparison: https://soundcloud.com/danny-azi...

Instead of focusing on buiding products to help the Fake News era we should focus on how can we increase transparency and keep the truth alive instead of killign it

Pros:

I don't feel happy about this product. It doesn't add any value and it helps the Fake news!

Cons:

No Idea what is the added value of this product it doesn't sound cool at all

Lyrebird have just launched their beta offering allowing you to record and save your own digital voice.

This tech is quite terrifying to me. Absolutely amazing work from a technical standpoint, but so much potential for it to be abused/used with malicious intent.

This is scary good. After 100 sentences its gets pretty accurate.

Do you have an API?

(however it's still in beta)

Pros:

The idea and provided examples are very impressive

Cons:

It barely works at its current state

great product @adbrebs @ems_hodge Congra!

Scary but nice.

has a ton of applications, would be interested to hear what your next move is

small use case: would be interesting to use it as an alarm clock in the morning with my voice (or Dark Vador :D )

This will also make social engineering great again

As this product scales data it will be interesting to see usage cases

It was a bit tedious creating the samples. Hopefully, this can be improved. I would be very interested in integrations with tools such as Powtoons.

Pros:

Amazing technology with incredible opportunities to make explainer and marketing video creation much easier. Voice marketplace?

Cons:

The results were marginal after about 30 samples. That being said, it is really quite amazing. Add more samples to improve quality?

in currenc context usefulness is very less.One can select any voice to say something. Because this digital voice can't represent the person. Only good usage of product in its current form seems to be useful for fake news or fake voice to fake something etc. so mostly it seems to be negative. However, they can change it to distinguish voices and use it for different reasons.

Pros:

Useful for creating fake news,as photoshop was used for fake photos but had other use.It should be for distinguishing real and fake voices.

Cons:

in currenc context usefulness is very less.One can select any voice to say something. Because this digital voice can't represent the person.

i'm adding my voice now, but just one minute, or the minimum required sentences sounds awful. They recommend 300 sentences. I have been recording for about an hour in my quiet bathroom and I am only a little past 200 sentences. The voice at a little over 110 sentences was still awful, but very slightly better. I will keep recording till it sounds decent, if it can get there. update: the 600+ sentence result was still pretty bad. Bathroom wasn't good for recording either. Trying again tomorrow in a better spot. My voice is horse now. It does sound less and less muffled with more sentences added though.

Excelente. Muy bueno para distraerte y usarlo en favor de otros. Ya las autoridades cuando quieran dar anuncios, tendrían que hacerlo en vivo y que se transmita de una buena fuente de información y listo.
