About Synthetic Audiobooks - WE DON'T MAKE THEM !

There are computer generated "neutral" (translated = monotonous) robotic voice versions of some audiobooks listed on Ebay. They read a generic text file - usually uncorrected and with scanning errors. Not only do the robotic versions mispronounce many words they also spell out many words not in their electronic vocabulary.  For example, almost every foreign word and many specialized vocabularies i.e. psychology, military, etc. Imagine how much fun you will have listening to a robot spelling words out for you.

The vast majority of these synthetic audiobooks read out page numbers, some punctuation, and do not have the intelligence to slow down during complex material to enable you to digest it or to speed up on easier material so as not to belabor it and bore you. Also, most (I do not know of one yet actually) do not have any music or sound effects. Synthetic renderers do no intelligent editing of the text (for example footnotes, table of contents etc.) they often confuse you and place you out of context as they are suddenly read at the wrong time.

Some of these synthetic audiobooks have more disks and may seem to have more content. Don't be fooled into thinking you are getting more material. Usually you get no material of any value and lots that is confusing and valueless.

Our audiobooks with real actors are guaranteed not to give you a headache, not to spell out words they do not know, etc. You can make the simple comparison with Orange Juice. Real, Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (our real audiobooks) versus Tang (synthetic audiobooks) - Which do you prefer?

Besides being real, if you compare, you will see that our audiobooks really are the best value on the market. What good is it if you save a couple of dollars, but do understand and get the benefit from the audiobook?
