In order to empower people wherever they are to access information easily, Microsoft has announced the addition of English (India) and Hindi to its Neural Text to Speech (Neural TTS) service language set. According to the company, these two Indian languages are among the 15 new dialects added to the service enabled with state-of-the-art AI audio quality.
For those who are unaware what Neural TTS is all about? Well, it is a part of the Azure Cognitive Services and converts text to lifelike speech for a more natural interface. The service also provides customizable voices, fine-tuned auto control and flexible deployment from cloud to edge.
“Our text-to-speech services have played a key role in democratizing information reach and empowering people and organizations. Through the inclusion of English (India) and Hindi in Neural TTS, we are demonstrating our continued commitment to refining speech and voice-based services for personal and business use in India. We will continue to drive further advancements in speech services to empower people wherever they are to access information easily,” said Sundar Srinivasan, General Manager, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt. Ltd.
Neural TTS significantly reduces listening fatigue when users are interacting with AI systems with natural-sounding speech that matches the stress patterns and intonation of human voices. This makes the service ideal for developing interfaces to communicate with the customers.
Microsoft, in a blog post, revealed that organizations across sectors like telecom, media, and entertainment, retail, manufacturing, and product/ service development are using Neural TTS. Udaan, India’s largest online business-to-business (B2B) marketplace, is using Text to Speech in Azure to develop conversational interfaces for their voice assistants.
While Microsoft’s Neural TTS can be used to make interactions with chatbots and virtual assistants more natural and engaging, it is also being used to convert digital texts such as e-books into audiobooks and being deployed for in-car navigation systems.
The Neural TTS service by Microsoft enables human-like natural and clear articulation and uses deep neural networks to overcome the limits of traditional text-to-speech systems in matching the patterns of stress and pitch in spoken language.
Microsoft further added that the other new languages introduced are Arabic (Egypt and Saudi Arabia), Danish, Finnish, Catalan, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Swedish, and Chinese (Cantonese Traditional and Taiwanese Mandarin). Up until now, Microsoft TTS supports 110 voices and over 45 languages and variants.

A lot of rumours are surfacing online giving out details about the successor of Samsung Galaxy S20 that is reportedly being called the Galaxy S21. The latest leak reveals that the Galaxy S21 Ultra device, which will be launched in the first half of next year, is likely to come with an S Pen.
A news report by The Elec Korea, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra variant will come with an S Pen. The S21 lineup is expected in the first half of next year. On the other hand, the report has revealed that the regular Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus will not carry a stylus. Furthermore, the codename of Samsung Galaxy S21 is “Unbound” that comes with variants: M1, N2, and O3. The report added that the S Pen will likely to come with the O3 variant. Mind you! Samsung has not yet confirmed the official launch timing of the Galaxy Note21.
In addition, Samsung is likely to replace the Galaxy Note series by rolling out what is being dubbed as the S Pen-enabled Galaxy Z Fold 3 device. On a general basis, the Galaxy Note series sells about 10 million units by the end of the same year after launching in the third quarter. However, sales of the Galaxy Z Fold series have not yet reached this level. The first-generation Galaxy Fold products launched in September 2019 recorded a cumulative sales of 1 million units in the early first quarter of the period under review.
Samsung further plans to increase Ultra New Glass (UTG) production from 600,000 to 700,000 units per month to reach the limit of 1 million units per month by the end of the year. However, even assuming that UTG production is increased to 1 million units every month and sales for 6 months, the sales of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 are only 6 million units. It is 4 million less than the sales of the Galaxy Note series.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s latest Note series transforms the way you work – empowering you to do more anytime from anywhere – with the help of the new S Pen and Samsung Notes features. The S Pen on the Galaxy Note20 series has more lifelike precision that gives you more accuracy and responsiveness. The S Pen’s five new Anywhere Actions make touchless navigation of your device – like returning to the home screen or taking a screenshot – as simple as a flick of the wrist.
