@TomGrant91@tweesecake.social Watson is a supercomputer made by IBM, which was notable for beating human players on the Jeopardy! game show in 2011.
The name Watson is now used for a bunch of things, among them IBM's online text-to-speech service, which is internally still using their version of Eloquence.

@MutedTrampet@dragonscave.space OK this thing really doesn't like brave browser on the phone. Error: there was an error in synthesis. Please try again. No matter how many times I tried again it didn't work. However on the computer it works straight away. Which voice and dialect did you try that crashing on? All these voices seem to be high quality neural ones. Lisa reminds me of the Nicky voice on iPhone the US what used to be Siri voice from back in the day.
