text to speech

Just wondered if there is a reason Finally Dead doesn't have text-to-speech enabled? Unless, it's just me, then oops? :oops:
Love the books and reading through the series again. It even inspired me to do a modified fast for the day. . . Can't say that about too many books.

I don't really text to speech. It would be good if there was just an audio version for us slow readers.

You'll need to contact Amazon and "Chat" with someone. I had to do that to get most of my books to work text to speech again. Seems the auto updates don't always work correctly for them. The person had to update each book I wanted individually.

I'm thinking of doing a book as an audio work to see if I can do it. Which would people like to hear first? (Some of the early ones would have to be rewritten so that they sound correct, but most of the later things will work well enough, I think.) My current plan for this test would be to simply put them up on Youtube.com, for free...)

I suggest picking a reality and doing 'em in order! I get the free for a test bit, but I'd happily pay...I like to listen to books while driving, I sometimes do while working - heck, I even listen to them when I'm mowing. You've got a lot of great books, and I'd love hearing all of them eventually .

Personally, I much prefer TTS over recorded audiobooks. Using IVONA Amy (British English) as a voice sounds great, certainly not significantly worse than any human read audiobook I've ever tried, and much better than most. And if you use Moon+ Reader Pro as ebooks reader, you can freely adjust the speed of the TTS between 10 and 500% of "normal" in 10% steps to whatever reading speed you feel comfortable with.

I've recently found that if I delete the book off my kindle, then "buy" the book again (it doesn't charge you again) then re-download it then it works fine again. Faster than going through the Amazon Help!

Text to Speech doesn't hold a candle to a person reading, so far. :)

Okay, that might just be me, but I love it when the inflection is correct. to me that makes a vast difference. Then, I like it when people do the voices as a character.

I agree. I like the inflections too, and correct pronunciation of some words ( Adele - a-dell vs addled in tts). Depends on how the different characters are portrayed for different voices, some narrators are horrible at it.
