I’ve had one of these running for years, honestly I didn’t expect it to last this long as it looks really cheap

Is TTS voice replication much better self hosted than it was about half a year ago? Last time I tried it didn’t sound like the person I had samples of, instead I had to use elevenlabs to get close to sounding right
Turns out it was all New Jersey the whole time
I used to work while listening to audiobooks so I have come across a lot of this.
It’s not quite what you asked for but what I found was that in general, nonfiction memoirs were my favorite types of books to listen to as it would be ok if you get distracted and they were usually very interesting to me.
If I remember later I’ll check my list of books I’ve read and try to find some good fiction too.
I use plexamp too with a large library so I can comment on the android side (I didn’t know some of these differences existed)
I’ll also comment that I sort all my music by folder and Plex does ok with this Not great, but it works
People like to hate on FC5 but honestly it’s my favorite one
Personally I’ve always been a fan of c:
Hoping Python NT will be coming out soon
I’ve actually found myself surprised at how my brain doesn’t hear that was weird. I personally find it very natural. Maybe it’s because I was read a lot of stories verbally as a kid?
Elevenlabs is incredible but yeah it’s not there 100% for audiobook purposes I think. I trained it on an audiobook from one of my favorite narrators and had it read from another book. It sounded just like the guy but the intonations and mannerisms just weren’t quite there to match the text.
It’s weird. When there’s just one narrator and they do different voices for different characters I don’t think twice about it but I can still tell the characters apart by voice alone. But when there’s an entirely different person’s voice my attention gets mildly distracted by it. It’s similar to when sometimes books will have a random sentence read out by someone different than the narrator, probably a post recording correction.
That being said it’s usually pretty few and far between when I come across an audiobook book with multiple narrators, and usually it’s per section of the book (maybe from the perspective of different characters) rather than switching mid dialogue between characters
Man if I cared about framerate or resolution I wouldn’t be playing totk on my steam deck. And yes I own a switch, and yes I bought totk
