    This is dumb as hell… if I wanted AI to read a book poorly to me, I’d just use screen reading accessibility features.

        Sure there are. ElevenLabs is one. You can probably tell they’re not human but they’re really decent.

          Just tried it. Still a machine buy much better than default TTS.

        Speechify is probably the best option for this particular usecase.
