Check this part (for instance) which is AI trained and generated TTS! Sounds totally real to me!

Hope the price will be ridiculosly good too

[Poppingcork 24]

Price...LOL.

Sounds incredible, they have something magic here.

That said, they need to add some pauses, longer "uhhhs", perhaps a few misspoken and corrected words in the same sentence, that would do wonders to make them sound more human. Listening to the flight, it's uncanny and extremely stilted how perfect they are talking, all with the same cadence

Way better than the previous video demoed their tool which wasn't at the standard of today's TTS and sometime almost ridiculous for a state-of-the-art in 2023.

But, there's still some stuff that look unreal. Ok, the product is not yet released. Like when the delivery freq says the readback was incorrect and invite the pilot just to try it again without pointing at the mistake. Another quite unreal is other pilots jumping on the freq in a middle of the flow. Yep, it happened in real but here, maybe because the flow is slow, it looks unreal. Voice are better for sure, but flow is still artificial. Although I have only 5 or 6 times in KLAS frequency. And the quality still too much cristal clear (personal taste).

Now this addon raises my interest 😉 with the Premium subscription. At the end od the day, it will be a balance between price and features 😉

The next thing we may see is clould morphology created by AI utilizing massive examples of images of cloud morphologies tied to specific meteorological conditions.  This is a great arena for "deep fake" and it would be great if it stayed that way!

Sounds great, but for me, it also sounds way to clear, not really like real ATC (with all its atmospheric interference etc.). Besides this, already by just looking the video I am totally and utterly annoyed by the beeping sounds after each transmission or voice input commands. This would drive me nuts instantly 😉

If you are talking about the example I linked to (including time): that was just a clean example of an AI generated voice without any distortion. As you can hear in the rest of the video the ATC voices are slightly distored and sound more 'radio-like' and in fact there is an instance where the voice is quit distorted due to atmospheric interference. (I will post a direct link if I can find it.)

The clear beeping sounds you hear after 'you' talk and when ATC replies to you (or when the frequencies are automatically switched) can all be turned off. They are there for your convenience (and not your annoyance 😉 ) so you can instantly tell if what you said has been transfered correctly. Those are all optional. The 'click' you hear after ATC or AI has talked I don't know if that can be turned off. Doesn't really bother me (like indeed those clear beeps do!).

I wish they would release what they have, already wat better than default atc. I'll gladly beta test.

I think they want to be like A2A, get it right first, instead of selling a Beta program.

Not sure the world is ready for that kind of masculine perfection, Bob 🙃
