Python AI Assistant with a Natural Voice
In this video we upgrade our voice-controlled AI assistant to respond to us with a more humanlike voice by leveraging the Google Text-to-speech API and the generous free $300 allotment.
In the first half of the video we cover the steps to take to gain access to the Google Cloud API. In the second half we explore the available voice options and update the AI assistant code to make use of the new text-to-speech approach.
