Anyone experienced this yet? I fucking hate it. I don't care how much the company have "trained" the announcer to try and be "Scottish", there's nae such thing as a generic Scottish voice, and the systems are absolutely going to end up tinged with shite like Americanisms and influences from other English language training data plugged in.
I'll take the awkward gaps in pre-recorded human lines compared to an AI system that sounds like its confused its in Largs.

Heard it the other day and it’s bizarre, the pacing of what she says is jarring more than anything. Don’t know why she’s even necessary, we already had a voice for announcements.
They’re using an AI voice on the Edinburgh buses now tae. Dreadful.
Is text to speech even AI? I mean it’s like calling the self scanners at Tesco AI.
As stated in the article, a manually typed message is upload into speech software.
It feels like a ghost or something talking ya know?
