Oh. I understand now. I've tried a few text-to-speech engines and AT&T Natural Voices sound the best to my ears. I will find the terms of use and pricing for that.
Please do. If they are sufficiently cheap I will see about getting someone here to allow me to implement an automatic audio version of either just the early Eliezer posts (including sequences) or as a feature of all posts. This would be massively valuable for many of us.
In fact, if price is prohibitive I wonder if it would be worth implementing a free (less natural sounding) text-to-speech converter.
I can drive and listen, but I can't drive and read! The same is true for most kinds of exercise.
If you are in my situation - wanting to read the sequences without having enough time - feel free to download these audio files for your smart phone or MP3 player.
My vision is to build a podcast feed or downloadable MP3 repository of all the major sequences. The files I have now are not organized enough to scale out to hundreds of posts, and some of the artifacts of text-to-speech could be reduced with the right pre-processing. Before I spend more time on this, I want the right tools and process in place.
Any ideas on how to to proceed? Would you like to help? How should I publish these files?
