I read then, listen. Unfortunately this can take half a day as a 2yo and 4yo do their best to draw every ounce of my attention. Existentia is less chaotic than my place!

A typical chapter takes about three hours to create an audio file for. Most of that is my final round of editing but the actual audio for you guys adds about wenty minutes to the process, above and beyond the benefit I get to the text version.
I'm glad a couple of you are enjoying it. As it makes the effort of rerunning it over and over again to make the pronunciations right worthwhile. That is if I can say right. Pronunications better might be the superior description. Last chapter I had to abandon the word epithanies (and replace with inspirations) because the software just couldn't pronounce it correctly no matter how many times I forced it to regenerate the line. .

I listen to the audio and love it, despite the errors.

Tough, can you do multiple fixes at once for a single file or do you have to sequence them?
Like if on a chapter there is a double line and then later in that chapter the narrator is wrong for the character, does it take 10 minutes or 20?

I can fix line by line and re-upload but every fix is ten minutes end to end work.

Can you fix mistakes in the audio files or do you have to record everything from scratch to remove double lines and vocal shifts?

Everyone should listen to the audio, you hide all the best eggs there

Patreon sucks
You need to listen to the audio via the chrome web browser. Edge might work but Firefox doesn't
And going back to the first line you can't listen to it via their own app because Patreon sucks

Hmm is there something wrong with the audio?

nah... Hardly anyone listens to the audio and the only regular audio listener and commentor comments exclusively on the written chapters.

Is there a different comment audience for the written and audio chapter?
