Ahh! The centraaal station! :)

I'd love to have a service like this with wavenet-quality TTS. These are a bit jarring. Although, like low quality audio files, I guess you get used to it pretty quick?

It uses AMZN Polly for the backend, switching to Wavenet types would cause an 4x price increase (based on current offerings by the majors clouds). It is a bit difficult to justify because that would exceed the cost of an off-the-shelf audiobook from e.g. Audible. I do however plan to add it as an option.

If you have any ideas etc. drop me an email! (See profile)

For you, has this automated (audio)book discovery by farming it out to visitors of your website? :)

Indeed, everytime the server goes down (every other week), I have to SSH in and trawl through all the amassed epubs...:D

(The files persist until the conversion is fully complete i.e.uploaded to S3 and sent to user)
