It has been a nerdy late afternoon, spelunking into quite a few rabbit holes that I would never normally have discovered. Like this post about correcting the fluttering audio on the soundtrack of Steamboat Willie, thanks to ooh.directory. I even understood some of it.

Robert has a good solution to blocking text-to-speech narration in audiobooks, not a problem for me as I don’t listen. But … the 2023 roundup of Tyler Cowan’s podcast said they were recording his voice for a custom text-to-speech. Might be worthwhile.
