We're currently in post-production of our first audio book (Bosley Gravel's 'The Movie'). To do the job properly meant recruiting professional actors, a fully equipped studio in California, sound technicians, mixers and a tape editor. It's not a matter of merely having someone read out loud into a tape recorder. Big job -- and darned expensive -- to produce an outstanding piece of work. Nowt's easy. Cheers. Neil
PS: We do, of course, always enable text-to-speed wherte the facility is available. It's more 'human' now than it once was, but still a tad robotic. Not so much a complete experience as a prompt for those with less than perfect eyesight or a reading disability of some other kind. In that way, it does its job. N
