I'm a fan of old pulp novels but I'm so busy these days that audiobooks are where I do most of my "reading" these days so I was looking for ways to have AI read me public domain novels.
Right now I'm working on turning Tros of Samothrace by Talbut Mundy into an ai audiobook (http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks05/0500901.txt) and I tried ElevenLabs and honestly I found play.ht to be the superior reader for long-form audiobooks, at least if you use their new experimental voices of which I find the British "Clark" to be the best. But play.ht will cost me about $100 to make three to four novels into audiobooks.
I just wanted to see if anyone has any other recommendations for making audiobooks with AI voices?
