As I listened to a BLINK as a 7 book at a time guy. I was sold, it was sort of like talking to an intresting friend, about what they have learnt from something. Loads of stimulating ideas. I just have to put my mony up now and have my empty 5mins during the day filled with real brain tickling.

I've always read them, just starting to use growth.me and blinkist.com but I'm curious what others think of them. Source: about 3 years ago
There aren't really any models that produce realistic real-time voice. I'd recommend ElevenLabs or play.ht, sadly these seem to be the only useable options for now. Source: 6 months ago
I've used play.ht before. Very easy to use. Source: 11 months ago
Does anyone know what they are using and if its possible to get it and run it locally? I have a lot of text to voice (1 500 000 characters, 300 000 words) so using services as elevenlabs or play.ht would be pretty expensive. The quality is secondary to it being reasonably fast (got a 2060 super, dont want to run it for 4 months straight to generate all this dialogue). Source: 11 months ago
My experience with play.ht wasn't positive, had way better luck paying the eleven labs premium. Source: 11 months ago
(The biggest problem I have with play.ht is it won't do some things because "Your content violates our standards" and that is for "fight scenes" written over 100 years ago). Source: 11 months ago
