This is dumb as hell... if I wanted AI to read a book poorly to me, I'd just use screen reading accessibility features.
-
Are there any good ones nowadays that don't sound like a robot?
-
Sure there are. ElevenLabs is one. You can probably tell they’re not human but they’re really decent.
-
They still don't understand the context of what they're reading though so they can't apply tone correctly.
-
From what I've been able to hear it's not that bad. They're pretty good at having a general tone. But they may fail when it comes to emotional tones, like anger or sadness. But for just reading a book aloud there shouldn't be any issue.
-
Fair. Definitely some awkward phrasing, but it’ll get better.

Just tried it. Still a machine buy much better than default TTS.
-
In 10 years it’s probably gonna be really impressive.

-
Speechify is probably the best option.

No
