"Just See Yourself..." a book by Thomas Walker

[FionaM]

I just went to buy it on Audible and it says it cannot be found. I tried both total and author. Is it not available in Australia?

No, not yet. Not for me either, in fact. It's still a beta feature, so it's possible that it's only open to Amazon.Com. I'll give it another day and email Amazon for clarification.

Ironically, the audio version now has fewer typos and mistakes than anything I've ever written. Hearing it read aloud makes it amazingly obvious where you've got the wrong word.

Also if people are really desperate to have it read then you can use Alexa to read it to you from Kindle…. Again it’s an AI generated voice but it’s ok-ish Lol

After getting word from Amazon, apparently it's not available anywhere but Audible/Amazon.com; and least while in beta.

 

Annoying to me as well, as I'm an AU shopper, but I'll admit the bulk of my readers are on the 'home' directory.

 

Sorry.

We have Audible in Australia. Will your book not be in the Australian Audible?

Doesn't look like it. It's a beta feature, but it's annoying for me too, as I'm an Aussie shopper too. I don't even have a 'preview file' beyond the editor.

I use Moon Reader Pro and it has a fairly decent voice reader, or it uses Android default voice reader. I am using LineageOS 22x which is a debloated Android 15 on my Samsung t720 s5e,

Try it out. Not sure if non pro reads outloud or not.

There are other readers that have voice readers built in.

I wanted to say thank-you for the Audible book! We listened to it, and while it's not as good as some actual paid readers, it's not as bad as some of them either! My husband and daughters would love to have more of them to listen to, even if it's read by the BETA AI reader. It was great to be able to share this wonderful book with my non-reading family. Thanks again for taking the time to do it for us and to have listened to our requests to have it on Audible. 💞

Go for the Silver Medal, that's me. 😁

The other books are a difficult question. The fact that audio-AI is in 'Beta Phase' means there will almost certainly be changes (and hopefully improvements) in the future. Making an ebook into an audiobook isn't difficult, just hugely time consuming. I'm hesitant to invest so much time in all of them if there's going to be an inherently better version available in a month or two.

 

Of course, I have no idea how long the Beta phase will last. Could be a week, could be a year. As a result, no decision has been made yet.

I have it, i cannot tell you how many times Iʼve listened to bits and pieces of it. I cannot listen to fiction because i will listen to it to relax me at night, then off I go to sleep. 
So, now, i start at random places, and listen away!

I have listened to it in its entirity, so now, iʼm just having fun with it.

If we get more in the future, excellent. If not, we are well taken care of by Jehovah.
