Right.

Oh, yeah.

I just could not come up with that thing.

Now, AI is able to do that.

And I feel supported and more complete because of the ability of AI to really provide that external cognitive assistance.

Right.

Anyway, what I was going to move on to is a weave off of 11 Labs because we chose to use 11 Labs Scribe because of the accuracy of its speech-to-text transcription and its ability to really timestamp those for later repurposing and metadata around the context of the words that are being spoken in our shows, for example.

Well, Eleven Labs just also released a new product.

They're kind of the leading player when it comes to voice.

And what they've released is audio books.

So it's a full production suite that's powered by AI generated narration.

So authors can streamline the delivery of audio books.

So we have Notebook LM and the podcast form there.

So you see how competent the sort of AI text generation converted to speech, but now much more multimodal.

So it goes almost the AI audio to AI audio.

But this is going to be an example of text to speech, but with, I'm sure, profoundly great inflection and attention.

And I contrast that with the Chrome reader functionality.

So I can open up a long text on a Chrome browser and I can have it read it to me.

But it reads everything on there and without real knowledge of what the differences are.

Like if there's a footnote reference number in there, it reads that as if it's part of the sentence.
