That amount of lisp would never make it past a real recording studio. Wow.

FYI, Bad Ereader has a terrible reputation in the ereader community. They lie often, plagiarize, and publish biased articles without revealing their financial interests in the products.

I think we allknow why Audible, and eventually audiobook divisions of traditional print book publishers, will increasingly use AI, $$$. They (and especially their investors) would much rather not pay a human to do something if there's any possible way to avoid it. The increasing use of AI is the main sticking point preventing the resolution of a voice actors strike that began almost a year ago.
Does anyone know how much control an author usually has over the production of an audiobook version of their work? I can definitely see a (sad) future where most audiobooks are done by AI regardless of what the author wants. Only the bigger name authors may have the ability to push back against a publisher. It's probably too early for there to be much financial data on AI "narrated/created" audiobooks vs human narration. If the book buying public rejects AI narration, hopefully that'll make publishers think twice about it. Quote:

Neural Networks, Machine Learning and AI are all marketing terms. They have no real relation to any biological or sentient process.
Re Control: Depends on the deal with a publisher, which in the past was only paper rights, not ebooks, audio narration, play, TV or movie. |
