Yeah, seriously. And I have a large amount of experience with different narrators. I find that having one fixed voice aids my comprehension and I don't care that much about how sonorous the voice is. If I could take my pick of a narrators, and some how get a text to speech version of their voice I would pick that and only listen to them to get the effect, but that isn't in the cards.

Interesting. I love how everyone has such different preferences.

We're definitely going to stick strictly to the human-narrated content, but there is certainly a growing market of services which can get you your TTS content and we think they have a place too.

Which text to speech program do you use?

Textaloud. I describe my method a bit here.

2 - 5 books a day was an exaggeration, I think. It's usually 2 - 3.
