New voices are being added to Google’s text-to-speech engine in Android applications

According to the update release, those who currently use text-to-speech technology don’t need to do anything to get the new voices since “all will happen behind the scenes” with the upgrades being downloaded automatically. The service is already utilized by a range of native programs such as Google Maps, Google Translate, and the Android Recorder app, so chances are that if you use an Android device, you probably already use the Speech Services by Google speech engine, even if you don’t realize it. The update will be available to all 64-bit Android devices over the following several weeks through the Google Play Store.
