Actually, by "free speech" I mean I just learned that AWS (Amazon Web Services) has a free text-to-speech generation program called Polly. As I already have an AWS account for my cloud storage, I thought I'd give it a try. It actually worked nicely. The program starts off as free but I think you end up paying after 12 months. After that, I think there'll be a pay-as-you go kind of subscription. I don't have a lot of need for this so I don't think it would be prohibitively expensive. Also, there are many other similar programs so this could get interesting.
For now, I'm thinking of taking some of my older TIK ( Thyme In The Kitchen) videos, clipping out some of the funny intros that Lee, Pam, and Sylvia made, and putting a video together with just those. Lee's already asked me to put the TIK shows up into YouTube and I'll probably do that project next. There are a lot of these shows and it'll take some time to get them all loaded.
I think it's a good winter project.
