The “World of the Future” was the theme of the 1939 World’s Fair in New York City, where AT&T unveiled a primitive, robotic and typically male synthetic voice.
The future turned out a bit different. Synthetic voices are common, humanlike and most popularly female.
Today on Tech Tuesday on All Sides with Ann Fisher, we talk about the evolution of the synthetic voice.
