Listen "“LessWrong audio: help us choose the new voice” by PeterH"
Episode Synopsis
We make AI narrations of LessWrong posts available via our audio player and podcast feeds.We’re thinking about changing our narrator's voice.There are three new voices on the shortlist. They’re all similarly good in terms of comprehension, emphasis, error rate, etc. They just sound different—like people do.We think they all sound similarly agreeable. But, thousands of listening hours are at stake, so we thought it’d be worth giving listeners an opportunity to vote—just in case there's a strong collective preference. Listen and votePlease listen here:https://files.type3.audio/lesswrong-poll/And vote here:https://forms.gle/JwuaC2ttd5em1h6h8It’ll take 1-10 minutes, depending on how much of the sample you decide to listen to.Don’t overthink it—we’d just like to know if there's a voice that you’d particularly love (or hate) to listen to.We'll collect votes until Monday December 16th. Thanks! ---Outline:(00:58) Listen and vote(01:30) Other feedback?The original text contained 2 footnotes which were omitted from this narration.--- First published: December 11th, 2024 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/wp4emMpicxNEPDb6P/lesswrong-audio-help-us-choose-the-new-voice --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
