I used one of the TTS pre-trained models to turn the Frankenstein e-book from Project Gutenberg into a podcast, and it worked pretty darn well (especially when I compared it with the terminal "say" command). Here's my write-up: https://www.charlieharrington.com/flow-and-creative-computing https://www.charlieharrington.com/flow-and-creative-computin... And the podcast RSS feed: https://whatrocks.github.io/castellan/podcastjr.xml https://whatrocks.github.io/castellan/podcastjr.xml It's great when these ML models link to a Google Colab notebook. It makes it super easy and dare-I-say fun to try them out.

Wow, that neural voice sounds so much better than the TTS that I use with my screenreader for reading books with my print-related disability. Thank you for the writeup! :-)
