Subject: NLM Audiobook 'How I Started Smoking' by Dori120 RELEASED!

Sigh…

So I had the house to myself for a few hours, and I was bored, so I created another crappy audiobook.

As before it is done with crappy synthetic TTS, so don't expect great things. The software I use is pretty basic, so edits took ages. I don't know how many times I've listened to this damn thing, tweaked it, listened again, always from the beginning, the software won't let me select a single section of text to listen to, it's always all of it…

So if anyone has any suggestions for decent TTS apps available through the Mac App Store for a reasonable price, please let me know, as this job was almost painful.

Anyway, for what it's worth, the first story from the second volume of NSC. At around 1000 words, this one runs only a few minutes, and it gets a bit spicy.

It wasn't that well written, and I had to make a few small changes to the text to make it sound better, so please let me know what you think, and yes I know the voice I used isn't the best, I'm working with the tools I have available.
