Audio books from auto-generated voices

Interesting development, Google has launched a new "text to voice" technology for publishers. It's using "machine learning" to make the narration sound more natural than previous text to speech systems. (https://chromeunboxed.com/auto-gener...gle-play-books)

The examples are all PD works and are free to listen. I've listened to some of the Dracula audio book and whilst it is better than previous generations it still seems to struggle to get the right intonation and cadence especially with the run-on sentences:


Dracula, Bram Stoker.
