It's Google's DeepMind's own text-to-speech model.

                They need to change the woman, I hear the same voice therefore I hear almost same tone.

                    Has more natural intonation and less machine like transitions.

                      There is definitely a difference. The wavenet sample is more fluid but it could be a hair faster.

                        Just a little bit slow nothing more

                          I don't hear any difference in quality.

                                Akinaro, 09 Oct 2017big: hhahahah! Instead of finally making Google Assistant ... moreI wanted to comment the same. Respect!

                                  big: hhahahah!
                                  Instead of finally making Google Assistant available in more languages, they focus on something that doesnt really mater at all...

                                  And if someone dont get it: more languages = more customers = profits.
                                  Some voice correction = no one gonna care after few days.
