The text-to-speech is getting a major update that will increase the sound quality for 64-bit Android devices. It brings “clearer, more natural voices” for all of Google’s 421 voices across 67 languages. The improvements are the courtesy of a new voice model and synthesizer for smartphones.

The company says, “everything will happen behind the scenes as your users will have automatically downloaded the latest update.”
