It's vastly better than any TTS system I have used, but then I've only used a few (mainly phone assistants and the thing built into kindle).

What is the competition that you are referring to?

Yeah, as I mentioned I work in TTS and agree with you. If this is legit it is pretty amazing. Certainly would put them as one of the top providers especially given that they could ramp up voice selection. Also, if they truly are training on random stuff they would not have to pay royalties to voice actors since these voices don't exist. This is on par or better then most competitors i am aware of.
