Thanks for parts two and three, Paul. You did a good job with those as well and like others have mentioned before, your voice is easy to listen to and in great contrast to TTS software it's also a pleasure
While this software is definitely better than I've remembered from past use, it does not sound anywhere as near as real voices. This is somewhat of a letdown because an important part of listening to audio books is the pleasure of the reader's voice. Thanks all the same for those links to TextAloud, I'll be trying it for real in the next days but I don't have great hopes.
Oh and James, the idea is lovely, I just see a huge problem with trying
Just imagine some three speakers who constantly disrupt each other and while those may share the workload somehow the brunt of the work falls to the editor. I don't even want to think about mixing those parts together because there have to be thousands of pieces to align from three different sources and that will take time! An additional problem which could occur are postproductional issues because of different sound qualities, volume etc (think about a shy and quiet Lois towards a loud and confident Clark, wouldn't that ruin some dreams for you?
)
