  • Idk how much experience you have with this type of thing, but when I listen to my books i use my imagination to picture and hear things the way i want just like when i read a book normally. Ive read well over a 1000 books doing so, and that doesnt count rereads, and having the ability and willingness to use this method has drastically increased the amount i read but also my enjoyment doing so. The app i use also allows me to edit words and phrases throughput the book where i can correct how things are pronounced. Hell there’s a series that has this stupid catchphrase that i completely removed from all 20 books cause it was annoying. Im sure im only a single person that likes this method, but if i can find it enjoyable then when real ai gets put to work it’ll capture others.


  • Why would they when you can just plug any epub into a program and use google tts. Ive listened to about a book a day for the past few years doing this and i love it. Yeah it took getting used too, but once you find an ai voice you like and figure out which words to auto replace to sound right its honestly better then an audiobook. Well at least to me it is, i could never stand when the reader would change their voice for different characters.

    Damn bro i know im late, but it sounds like you need to drink some H2O. You know the amount of water that you need to drink is half your weight in oz. And thats not including if you work and sweat.

    So it sounds like a lot, but you only have to drink a gallon of water a day if you’re 250 lbs. A gallon sounds daunting, but once you get used to it you’ll be craving water.

    Being topped off on fluids constantly is a life changer.

    Edit: i dont get migraines, and i maybe have a headache one or two times a year. I eat a bit unhealthy, smoke, smoke, drink, rarely do drugs, but ive continued to drink so much water that even after turning 30 with such long abuse, i some how feel almost completely fine. Way better then most people i know.

    And the only difference, staying hydrated!
