Joaquin Phoenix is now going to narrate all of my audio books.
- vkou 10y agoI doubt this software can figure out which parts of your audiobook should be whispered, which parts emphasized, which kind of accent each character should have, when the passage should be read as a playful conversation, as opposed to a clinical narrative... A lot more goes into an audiobook then some guy reading 300 pages of text into a microphone.

And be able to carry on a coherent, deep philosophical debate. The difficulty is not in modulating the voice to create intonation, but in annotating prose with intonation.
