I don't use speak to text, but I am considering the use of AI text to speech for vocalizing e-books. Human readers are far superior, but there are so freaking many books that haven't been put into audio format... Second best is better than none.

No. I'm sure however that it would result in something hilarious for others and embarrassing for me.

The drawback for me is my accent.

For me it is the fact that I can't speak English for shit. Or to say it without exaggeration - my spoken English ain't good.

I’m not Australian. Even after all these years in New Zealand, I still sound like a Ballymena muck savage.
