Synthesis of Google vs Samsung TTS Which one is worse?

For a few weeks (particularly on November 6), Google has been updating our Android terminals with its application Voice synthesis, an application that, along with others, offers the opportunity to translate text into audio and thus listen instead of read.

Most Samsung users have the application installed natively on our terminals Samsung TTS. Let's say it is the same, but manufactured in Samsung.

Bueno, el caso es que ni lo uno ni lo otro, ambos son un desastre. La entrada que hago hoy en el BlogEl término blog se usa para describir un diario virtual en Internet. El autor de un blogger puede publicar posts sobre cualquier tema. Los posts suelen estar presente de forma cronológica. El estilo de redacción de un blog suele ser informal y se escribe en primera persona. No obstante, además son posibles otros estilos, por ejemplo en el caso de los periódicos online, en los que la atención se centra plus vale la pena como crítica constructiva tanto para Google como para Samsung. ¿De verdad crees que puedes llevar esta horrible síntesis de voz al mercado? Por el amor de Dios, ¿es que nadie prueba estas aplicaciones antes de que se lancen?

And as if to show a button, and even though you already know that I am not very given to making videos, today I was encouraged by what they say that an image is worth a thousand words.

The first thing, before starting, will be to clarify how one or another alternative is activated.

Menu> Settings> Language & input> Text-to-speech output

note: the videos were taken with a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.

Well, now that we are clear about how one or the other alternative is activated, let's see how a fragment of the prologue of the book 'La Celestina' is read with the option of Google synthesis.

note: excuse me, I have recorded the videos from another phone and forgot to turn off the noise reduction and it is thus very quiet. I recommend that you turn up the volume of the speakers to appreciate it well.

And now we will hear the same fragment again but with Samsung TTS.

Conclution:

Don't ask me which of the two is better, because there are none, in fact they are not even regular. Maybe it's because I'm a demanding user, maybe because I'm used to Loquendo voices for computers, but it really seems like a horrible service to me and I modestly think that to have that, it is better to have nothing.

In future posts I will explain what free and paid alternatives are for this service and that they are worth it.

Good weekend!
