Aceasta este ultima frontieră în vorbirea sintetică: replicarea nu doar a ceea ce spunem ci și a modului în care o spunem. În 2014, Patel a înființat o companie pentru a construi voci sintetice personalizate pentru indivizi care nu vorbesc. Vorbirea sintetică a parcurs un drum lung de-a lungul anilor. Tehnicile actuale de învățare automată pot modela vorbirea umană, completate cu pauze incomode și sunetul buzelor. Dar chiar dacă decalajele rămase între vorbirea umană și cea sintetică se închid constant, prozodia cu adevărat realistă continuă să scape chiar și de cele mai sofisticate sisteme.

Amazon ar spune că munca a fost esenţială pentru un produs top secret de recunoaştere a vorbirii. Primii pionieri au cumpărat sau au construit biblioteci masive de înregistrări – oameni care citesc ziare sau alte materiale pre-scrise la microfon. Echipa de la Apple a cedat o mare parte a acestei munci firmelor de outsourcing din Europa, inclusiv GlobeTech, din Irlanda. (Această cotă a fost redusă de la 2.500 de înregistrări, spun alţii, pentru a îmbunătăţi ratele de acurateţe.) „M-am simţit jenat ascultând alţi oameni”, spune unul dintre foştii colaboratori, mai ales având în vedere cât de dese erau înregistrările copiilor.

Apple ранее в этом году купила за 50 миллионов долларов испанский стартап Vilynx — об этом сообщает Bloomberg. Издание предполагает, что технологии Vilynx могут пригодиться Apple на нескольких направлениях. Во-первых, они способны расширить возможности поиска в приложении "Фото" в части работы с видеороликами. Кроме того, пригодиться нейросетевой анализ видео мог бы и в интернет-кинотеатре Apple TV+, приложении Apple News и для дальнейшего развития ассистента Siri. Наконец, Apple, по слухам, может разрабатывать собственный поисковик на случай, если антимонопольные власти помешают ей и Google продолжить их сотрудничество.

To skip songs on your AirPods, you can use the double-tap action on the left or right earbud. Only those with Gen 1 AirPods or Gen 2 AirPods can modify skipping songs through the double-tap feature as AirPods Pro do not allow you to adjust this. The default setting for both AirPods and AirPods Pro is to double-tap one of your AirPods to skip the song that is currently playing. So you'll only be able to change the double-tap settings if you're using the standard 1st generation or 2nd generation AirPods. AirPods Pro will have options to change the left and right press-and-hold settings instead of the left and right double-tap settings.
