python|微软的文本转语音服务，已经听不出是机器了微软|ai|java|人工智能

今天刷到了微软在 2021 年 5 月发布的文本转语音服务（TTS），试了下，真的听不出这是机器在读，而且，可以分辨出中文的多音字，如士大夫和大(dai)夫，儿化音也可以连起来，可以自动推断出语气和情感，非常智能。感觉以后的播音员要失业了。
大家先来听一段官方的样例，看一看能否听得出这是机器人读的？

如果感兴趣，可以在这里[1]自己测试下。

要是微信读书里面的机器人可以这么读，那体验就更好了。
微软也给出了 Python 语言调用该服务的代码：

import azure.cognitiveservices.speech as speechsdk# Creates an instance of a speech config with specified subscription key and service region. # Replace with your own subscription key and service region (e.g., "westus"). speech_key, service_region = "YourSubscriptionKey", "YourServiceRegion" speech_config = speechsdk.SpeechConfig(subscription=speech_key, region=service_region)# Creates a speech synthesizer using the default speaker as audio output. speech_synthesizer = speechsdk.SpeechSynthesizer(speech_config=speech_config)# Receives a text from console input. print("Type some text that you want to speak...") text = input()# Synthesizes the received text to speech. # The synthesized speech is expected to be heard on the speaker with this line executed. result = speech_synthesizer.speak_text_async(text).get()# Checks result. if result.reason == speechsdk.ResultReason.SynthesizingAudioCompleted: print("Speech synthesized to speaker for text [{}]".format(text)) elif result.reason == speechsdk.ResultReason.Canceled: cancellation_details = result.cancellation_details print("Speech synthesis canceled: {}".format(cancellation_details.reason)) if cancellation_details.reason == speechsdk.CancellationReason.Error: if cancellation_details.error_details: print("Error details: {}".format(cancellation_details.error_details)) print("Did you update the subscription info?")

运行上述代码，需要你在微软的 Azure 注册一个账号，可以免费试用，具体教程[2]见文末。
最后的话相信在不久的将来，我们完全分辨不出听到的声音是真人发出的还是机器人发出的。
