Thanks for sharing that site!

I just converted my app from monolithic to modular, and switched from PySimpleGUI to Qt6.

I think the second biggest factor that kept me from launching the online business was reading up on all the big online marketplaces banning AI audiobooks, at least for now. So I just use it for myself.

Some of my initial versions even had a button to make the output compliant with part of the ACX requirements using complex ffmpeg commands.

I've also found that using the iZotope or Adobe Audition (best) algorithm to stretch the audio by 8-15% makes the listening experience better for difficult material, since OpenAI's slower speed settings don't sound well. So I tend to do tts-1-hd and a 12% stretch with Adobe Audition.
