Audio Books Forever Changed

TechCrunch last Tuesday reported “Open book repository Project Gutenberg has turned thousands of its titles into audiobooks practically overnight using synthetic speech, available now for download or streaming on multiple services. The selection is a bit idiosyncratic (as indeed the archive’s is generally) but it is nevertheless a powerful demonstration of accessibility in literature.”

If you are so overwhelmed with AI that you have just chosen to ignore it. I am so sorry, it is not going away! This is definitely one of quantum leap kinda things. The good news is it is not hard to learn how to use these tools! Book authors can also create an audiobook in minutes that used to take days or weeks! In their own voice!

Don’t be afraid, or be afraid and do it anyway! Change is coming……
