There aren't a lot of highly technical audiobooks or ones that give the same specificity that would be the same as an academic paper

- wolvoleo 7mo agoNot yet but it seems like they're getting to the point of AI narration finally being good enough to make any text an 'audiobook'. Having said that I absolutely hate the audio format, I only used it when I had to drive or when I swam lanes. But these days I do neither.
- coke12 7mo agoNo, reading verbatim from a technical paper is way too dense. You need a lot of filler words to slow it down and repetition to make it stick when read aloud.
- wolvoleo 7mo agoHmm fair enough but text manipulation is exactly something where LLMs do shine. Writing and modifying text is what they were meant for. Ps I don't mean the word 'manipulation' in a negative context.
- shimman 7mo agoOkay but the user is describing listening to papers, then having to read the papers because listening to them isn't efficient. So why bother listening to it in the first place if you're going to read it?
