AP USES A COMPUTER-GENERATED VOICE FOR TRANSLATION??
2008 June 14
Watch this video news report from the Associated Press about the recent 7.2M earthquake in Northern Japan, and then tell me if I’m hearing it wrong.
DID THE AP JUST USE A COMPUTER SPEECH PROGRAM TO TRANSLATE A JAPANESE NEWS CONFERENCE?!
Ok, maybe it wasn’t really the speech program translating the speech, but it sure as heck READ the speech from a translation source. Wow, this just sounds terrible (both the quake and the speech thing).
- People reacting during the earthquake in LA
- Powerful earthquake in China
- Raw video of moments immediately following China earthquake
- WHAT THE FUCK DO I NEED TO KNOW
- This cat can stand like a human
