[Promotion-technology] About synthetic-speech audio books

[Brett Boyer]

Hi. As far as I know you cannot purchase books read by synthetic speech. You 
can buy books that can be read by your own computer device ither pc or 
portable player. You can buy audio books from commercial companies read by 
humans. But I don't think people would pay money to hear books read by 
robotic speech.
