On my nothing-special-PC the conversion runs at 20,000+ w.p.m. so an average novel should take <5 minutes.

Caveat: I'm no longer supporting or developing this plugin but it's not obsolete. It works fine on calibre 5.xx and should continue to work on the upcoming calibre 6.xx.
oooh this is nice. I just installed it and I'm trying it out. There are just some books that I wanna read but for some reason my brain refuses to do so.

edit: is there any way to change the voice?
