One of the dominant players in the AI audiobook narration field recently offered access to its platform at a deep discount.
As an author, it behooves me to keep up with such things, even when I have my doubts. I have long been skeptical of the much-ballyhooed AI panacea. But I thought I should try AI narration before I completely wrote it off.
And like I said: the company was offering a deep discount.
I gave the whiz-bang AI narration platform a try. It does indeed output a narration from text.
That narration is far from perfect. Not something that I would package as a for-sale audiobook…not at this point.
But I might use it for some short stories for YouTube and my website.
