I'm even creating my own audiobooks from ebook text, as a way to consume books not officially available in audiobook!

I haven't tested it much yet but the 'Samantha' voice actually seems listenable and intelligible for long periods.

I gave it a go with LSTM's.

Each sentence is intelligible, but it feels so dry without the emotion of a human voice actor.
