Amazon Alexa will sound a little more furious after Amazon announced a Samuel L. Jackson guest voice pack for its smart AI voice program.
Amazon announced that later this year, there will be a more natural-sounding voice coming to Alexa devices thanks to a new neural text-to-speech software. Utilizing deep learning, Alexa will be able to sound more human and even mimic real human voices starting with Samuel L. Jackson.
Because of the new technology, Jackson won’t just be spitting out pre-recorded lines or phrases. Instead, the AI is mimicking Jackson’s voice. Amazon will offer the Jackson voice pack for a limited-time price of $0.99 for anyone who purchases it this year. There will also be an explicit voice option for Jackson if you’re so inclined.
