Thilini is a neural voice
In Azure Cognitive Services, a Neural voice refers to a voice generated using neural network technology. This means the Text-To-Speech system uses advanced machine learning models to create more natural, human-like speech compared to traditional methods.
Key characteristics of Neural voices:
- More expressive and realistic
- Better at handling pitch, tone, and rhythm variations
- Sounds closer to how humans naturally speak
