This seems like a fantastic idea for that purpose.
- Almondsetat 3y agoI mean, couldn't you do it with a program that takes an RSS feed, parses the abstract from each paper and puts ot through a run of the mill TTS engine?
- chaxor 3y agoSure, I've done something similar to that in a few hours. The free TTS options aren't great still, and "just the abstract" is not the problem. I did full articles, and the hard...er (it was a few hours) part was extracting out the relevant sections of full papers without the 'junk' info (page numbers, superscript citations, 7 pages of authors in any cern paper, etc. So you get something, but it's often not good.
