Clubhouse, the popular voice chat app, has announced a new feature that allows users to send text messages, which can be converted into spoken words for the recipients. You might wonder why not just send a voice message in the first place? Well, Clubhouse acknowledges that there may be certain situations where it’s not convenient to send voice messages, such as when you’re on a noisy subway or in a loud environment. In these cases, you can simply type out your message, and the recipient will still receive it in the form of a spoken message, true to the Clubhouse style (with a special indication that it is a synthesized voice).
Now, here’s the interesting part. The synthesized voice can be created by Clubhouse’s AI system, by having it learn from a certain amount of text input. Clubhouse claims that the synthesized voice will closely resemble a real voice, except for laughter. However, if users are not comfortable with the synthesized voice, they can also use the system’s custom voice command feature.
It’s important to note that this feature is currently only available to users in the United States.
TLDR: Clubhouse, the voice chat app, now allows users to send text messages that can be converted into spoken words for the recipients. This feature caters to situations where sending voice messages may not be convenient. The synthesized voice closely resembles a real voice, with the exception of laughter. Clubhouse’s AI system can learn from text input to generate the synthesized voice. This feature is currently limited to users in the United States.
