Update: 2025-04-29
Description
AI generated voices like Alexa and Siri are now so much a part of our everyday experience that disembodied chatbots that talk are edging ever closer to being accepted as real. And not for the first time: attempts to generate artificial human voices date back over two centuries.

It was interesting to me that in the podcast, machines that give disabled people a voice not mentioned. This is a very positive aspect of this technology. However, I have not yet read Sarah's book so this may be discussed there. As always, a fascinating insight into subjects, I would probably never have thought of listening to. Thank you
