Oi, senpai, yamete kudasai (⌒_⌒;✿) Stop googling this perverted stuff, baka. Jokes aside: stop googling these things. Buuuuut, since you’re already here, let me let you in on a little secret: you can use TTS software to make your waifu say everything you’ve always dreamed of hearing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Woord is an API that will allow you to use Text To Speech Realistic Voices To Bring Your Waifu To Life. Next, I will tell you a little about text-to-speech software, what they are, how to use them and I will recommend the one that, for me, gives the best results… I mean, according to a friend, A FRIEND TOLD ME, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT A WIFU IS (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄).
First Things First: What Is A Text-To-Speech Software?
Text to Speech Converters are software that “read” texts, from websites to image files. They allow you to hear text instead of reading, and, usually, save the audio in MP3 format. Learning a second language is always a challenge. Speaking, being able to communicate with others, for lots of people is the most difficult part of it. When we speak, there are many factors that affect communicability, some of them are pronunciation and accent. So, if you are not a Japanese expert, a text-to-speech AI can become your best friend for this task.
However, some AIs that “read” in a monotonous tone may be really great for other needs, but not for this. Therefore, it is important to take the time to choose a text reader that also converts text to speech accents. There is a variety of text-to-speech natural voices converters, both free and paid. Some things to keep in mind when choosing which one to use are, in addition to the prices, the languages they include and if they have different accents.
