I'm looking for this as well. Did you find it by any chance? The closest one I found is this: regmedia.co.uk/2025/04/29/s...

Couldn't find audio samples for all the voices - so had to create a script to create sample audios with all male voices. Its done. And it only took me ~5 hours!

Back to the project. First attempt to create an audiobook: Use Google Cloud Text to Speech.

The whole point to being a programmer is to spend 20 hours to build a tool that does something that will save you 5$. And believing it was completely worth it.

In my research phase, I found services that cost ~200$ that can create the audiobook for you - but where is the fun in that?

Also, I love audiobooks! I read 70(!) books last year - thanks to audiobooks at 2x speed.

Why? I consume almost all my books as Audiobooks - so its very odd to me that my own book doesn't have an audiobook version. I have to correct that.

How do you consume books? Audiobooks? At what speed? Visual reading? Something else entirely? Let me know!

If you’re like me, your "to-read" list is endlessly growing. I had almost given up on catching up. Then I discovered audiobooks at 2x speed. Now, I'm cutting a swathe through it!

I've been using Zettelkasten for about 4 years now, and I love it. Changed the way I learn things! Highly recommended.

About the workflow, I use Obsidian for my learning(and I publish those notes at notes.binnyva.com) and Logseq for my private notes. Both are maintained as separate vaults.
