Apple Books digital narration
Will we see this level of voice synthesis in the public domain? Maybe I am out of touch but I found those examples very impressive - more impressive than the jobs vs rogan demo a few months back.But I am also saddened at a future where all this is locked up in corporate hands - obviously there is money needed and (licensed) data needed too  which Apple can get at.Honestly I would rather eschew the ethics of it and just consume any and all voice data (youtube, podcasts, existing audiobooks, radio) that has transcripts available, perhaps because I assume corpos are already doing this, if it means we can have a free and open data model that people can run at home, maybe that makes me evil.
