Listening to Books #
When commuting I like to listen to podcasts or books for learning and entertainment. Unfortunately, many books do not have audiobook versions. Luckily, it’s fairly easy to use text-to-speech engines to convert the text of e books into audio. See tools in this repo: https://github.com/kovasap/pico-read-speaker
TODO check out:
I was listening to https://www.lifespan.io/the-rejuvenation-roundup-podcast/ recently and noticed the voice of the presenter sounded a bit generated. I reached out to the creators, and they say they use Synthesia. This would be amazing for use in audiobook generation.
https://beta.elevenlabs.io/ is another good solution that I’ve listened to samples from, but haven’t paid for yet.
