Amazon service converts text to speech www3.nhk.or.jp
Amazon is offering a service that converts Japanese text into audio speech.
The US IT giant says the price will be more competitive than similar Japanese providers.
The service already exists in 24 other languages, for use by companies and smartphone application developers.
It is cloud-based, unlike that of competitors in Japan, and clients won't have to buy software to use it. It will cost about 4 dollars per one-million characters.
Tadashi Okazaki of Amazon Web Services Japan said at a news conference that visually impaired people using the service receive information by listening rather than reading. He said this opens up new possibilities for them.
Amazon officials said their service is using AI technology to analyze massive amounts of audio data, and learn new words and natural intonations.
