This article will teach how to download and use IBM Watson Text to Speech. IBM which stands for International Business Machines Corporation is a big tech company in America that is well known. They have been in operation for more than 100 years and are into many other kinds of stuff, but we will focus on their AI, particularly text to speech section.
There are many texts to speech out there but most of them are quite expensive to pay for. While the free ones sound so robotic to the ear and not a good choice for professional videos. Fortunately, IBM came up with their own text-to-speech software and it sounds way better than most of them out there. You also pay to make use of this, but I will show you how to download it for free.
