A human inside AI **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 16, 2019 **What do you like best about IBM Watson Text to Speech?** What i like best about watson is its compatibility and how watson is there for you, when i was working there i had watson all the time and watson would understand and show me what i truly needed instead of spamming my window with products, watson would know and suggest me my routine work items and tasks. The purity or shall i say the transparency is what i like the best. Its not like a shop who'll present anything just to sell and earn for the day! **What do you dislike about IBM Watson Text to Speech?** To be very blunt, i don't remember if there was anything to dislike, watson had helped me so much. But no i can't recall if i dislike anything, maybe i did not try it that hard because there always exist pros and cons! **What problems is IBM Watson Text to Speech solving and how is that benefiting you?** Business benefits are limitless! It was more of a hackathon project back in 2017 where the sentiment of a person was recognized by watson and depending upon that watson would either become a companion in joy or a therapist in disguise to help you through the day. Watson was a chatbot, now when i am doing Masters, i came across projects where the sentiment is to be extracted from a sentence to understand the whole context by AI. This is, i believe, what already watson has! A therapist and a companion to those who has no one can be a life changer in a world where everyone feel isolated. The business impact of this model is simply astonishing! Watson helped alot and felt like Watson deserves a worthy review! ### 15.
