Challenges and Evolution of Alexa Text-To-Speech

It was quite a hike to deliver a first world-class voice assistant, but nowadays it is common to control computers with your voice. What about the future? What else is there in the world of Text-To-Speech? In this talk we are going to see what challenges Alexa TTS is facing now. We’ll go through the history of TTS, technical solutions, and then focus on what future brings. We’ll focus on both technical and business problems we’re solving now, and how these things will affect our lives.
