On Android, you can turn any digital book into an audiobook with @Voice Aloud Reader . I recommend using voices from Amazon Polly (neural), such as “Matthew”, which is the voice used by the Nonlinear Library. The Free Tier gives you 1 million characters per month for free, equivalent to 1,000,000 / 5 / 60,000 ≈ 3 books/month. You need to enter the Amazon Polly keys into the app (settings > change voice or language > manage api key, after selecting “Use Amazon Polly voices (paid service)” in the dropdown menu). This video (narrated by “Matthew”) explains how to get the keys.
Very useful! It’s only free for the first 12 months though. After that, it’s $16 for every million characters.
How far would one be allowed to spread those audiobooks before running into legal troubles? If the books are in public domain, would Amazon hold some copyright on the audio version?
