Anyone with influence over the manufacturers please pressure them to up the quality of the TTS, it opens-up a whole new world. |
One of the problems with getting too high a quality in the TTS is that the publishers and writers guild will demand that it be disabled, as they claim it cuts into sales of the audio versions of the book. It is a fine line but Amazon already crossed it. It do think Jinke should offer the user the choice of downloading voices but not provide too good a one with the device.
