So, on my M1 mac, did `uvx pocket-tts serve`. Plugged in
> It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only
(Beginning of Tale of Two Cities)
but the problem is Javert skips over parts of sentences! Eg, it starts:
> "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, ..."
Notice how it skips over "it was the age of foolishness,", "it was the winter of despair,"
Which... Doesn't exactly inspire faith in a TTS system.

I plan to return to my experiment sometime, would love tips on large repos and making it more manageable.

Some good ones IMO:
- Implementing Private Fields for JavaScript https://www.mgaudet.ca/technical/2021/5/4/implementing-priva...
- Histories, by Herodotus: https://www.mgaudet.ca/blog/2020/11/26/histories-by-herodotu...
Don't have Anabasis, but Herodotus was excellent.

I also find Javert in particular seems to put in huge gaps and spaces... side effect of the voice?
