I was going through some Text to Speech (TTS) engines such as epub2tts-kokoro, and I was wondering if we could collectively take the effort to generate audiobooks from some of the texts which are uploaded in the public domain on Marxists Internet Archive?
It would require some effort to mark the metadata as well as format the text for better chapterisation - although I think it can be a good weekend project for some of us.
Does anyone have any inputs on what hurdles I (or we) could encounter? Hosting these “audiobooks” on Internet Archive, ProleWiki, etc. is an option, I suppose. Just trying to plan ahead.
oh, I was wondering why you had a tag with “हिन्दी” written in it next to your name on that comment. You probably picked the language (Hindi) for that comment. You can change languages in your profile settings on the website directly, if you ctrl+a the list you will see all languages on lemmy.
