Semi-flat voice

cadence was off in places and AI did not pick up on certain acronyms. For example: M.O. was spoken as mo, etc.

Story was great, AI voice awful

Story was great, AI voice was annoying and at times distracting.- how many pronunciations are there for the main character’s name. And would emphasize incorrect words

Quirky town folk

The AI voice pronounced some words so oddly that it was kind of like doing a verbal jigsaw puzzle before understanding what happened. Especially since the words arent right in front of you to spot what went wrong.

the stories were good

did not like the AI narrator. Many words were mispronounced, no character voice changes, fluctuations, or punctuation changes.

Hated the virtual voice narration

The stories weren’t bad, and I liked the characters, but the computer generated narration destroyed the books

I can't do AI narration

The stories were good. However the AI narration ruined the rhythm of the books. In many instances when the final line of a chapter is a clever remark, or significant to the story, there should be a pause. But the very next second. AI says, "Chapter X (whatever)" then a pause. The main character was Mercy, and AI said Merci. Lots of bad pronunciations and rhythm. Anyway, I didn't like it. Even for free, I won't listen to anymore AI. A bad human is infinitely better.

thought it would be weird.. it's not

I enjoyed the boos very much. the virtual voice was pretty good. it had issues with things like a 38 special gun. it said a three eight special. also the lack of inflection on some words was a bummer. all round the books were enjoyable for sure. the voice needs work but again not a deal breaker at all. as a matter of fact I'm listening to another right now.

The lack of proper pronunciation.

The story was good. But the delivery was not because of the lack of proper pronunciation and the lack of emotion.
