Hey, community,

I’m an AI engineer, looking for some references. Has anything like this been done where I have a ebook and I use someone’s voice to read and convert it into an audiobook?

    Let’s be realistic here:

    If you have the money to deal with the inevitable shitstorm of litigation coming your way for doing this, you have the money to hire a professional voice actor to read your audiobook and save yourself the whole headache.

    If you do not have the money to deal with it, set your AI voice up to something generic and keep copious records demonstrating what you’ve done.

    I use naturalReaders.com to read documents and books. It’s not Morgan freeman but you do get to select which voice actors from a list you want to read the words. Different accidents and tones. I switch voices to help with retention and differentiation of documents.

    Give it a try. Could they make a Morgan freeman version, easily. But legally, I’d like to think some things are respected and sacred. But you could do a similar voice in terms of confident and calm.
