How Do You Make a Computer Speak?

We actually have 10 different voices. Each of those voices were modeled after a voice actor, which is a real profession,. You obviously know this for cartoons or commercial voiceovers. People go into the studio, very high quality studios and can say or utter certain words and phrases. For Google Assistant and many of the other properties out there, it's a similar process where we look for actors that have a certain range of characteristics. We find that giving a good choice of voices actually creates a better user experience.
