I wrote my own script to send article text through GCP text to speech, which I then put on a private podcast feed. If you go through the voices there’s some decent ones. I also found that speeding up audio in podcast app greatly improves listen ability. I also find picking an AI voice with an accent (for me British or aussi or Indian) helps trick my brain into tolerance.

However I also got tired of manually extracting text and running my script so now I mostly use: https://www.listenlater.fm though on this I just use the “Matthew”. For 5-10 min articles it doesn’t really matter, you get used to the voices so long as you can do something else in the meantime lol.
