In 2016, Automation Anytime reached a Dialogflow-esk version of automated voice agents and formed a volume of scripts and processes for text-to-speech and speech to text systems.  The service is formed from a volume of aggregated responses and, nowadays, when intertwined and combined with updated artificial intelligence content, reach a level of accuracy that is worthy of being offered as a service to be consumed or purchased by consumers in marketing and advertising.  Contact us for a quote.

From a deleted 'Reddit' account estimated 7 or 8 years ago.  For Automation Anytime to innovate in AI voice services, hardware expertise is somewhat ideal...

" 7y ago Kind of. The signal the speaker receives is a voltage, the voltage changes thousands of times a second and (depending on the setup) can be positive or negative. So for example that -127 to +127 number range I mentioned might turn into -1.5v and +1.5v for the speaker (those are just some reasonably typical values, different systems work differently). On/off pulses can mean one of two things: The way the computer stores those -127 to +127 numbers is in binary format which is (in this case) 8 on or off pulses. There are many different ways this can take place, you can have 8 wires with combinations of on/off, you could have 1 wire with 8 pulses of on/off or high/low voltage, there are all sorts of variations in different systems There's another way of encoding sound which is where pulses can be perfectly timed so that the length of the pulse matches the 'size of the number', so a short pulse might represent the -127 and a long +127 and everything in between. This method has some advantages because, for various electronics reasons, you can quite easily turn a series of short/long pulses into high/low voltages TL;DR: speakers like a varying voltage that tells the speaker how to move, computers like numbers, electronics gives many ways of converting between the two"
