- darkpuma 8y agoI see. I hadn't considered that might be a weakness because to be honest the creation of forced alignments between LibriVox and the source texts was my objective (it's a feature that exists on some Kindle's when pairing ebooks with audible audio books. I believe the feature makes literature more accessible, a noble enough cause. Although I can understand why more effort is being spent on recognizing conversational speech.)
