Sidenote: I must have heard "Caw! In 60 seconds" half a dozen times before I saw how it's spelled, and at least another several since, and I still don't know how your AI implementation went from one to the other (in whichever direction, voice <--> text). Most intriguing.
If you're interested in the detail, I specifically used a French AI voice to blurt out "Con!" so that the accent would be authentic for such an archetypal French insult. This is why it does not sound at all like the English word "con" as in "a fraud, a swindle".
The idea is that "Con in 60 seconds" reads like a bad pun in English (i.e. on the terrible 1970s and 2000s car-theft movies "Gone in 60 Seconds") but "con" is pronounced as French swear word. It is an in-joke hinting that I am a Brit living in France.
The other in-joke is, of course, that none of the episodes is "gone" after 60 seconds (they usually last between 150-170 seconds); but it is entirely possible that my listener will be.

Yuh. Identify with that.

I'm doing it with saws and chisels.
That sounds painful. No, we don’t need to see the pictures.
Eh? Oh, you mean the voice conversion.
