This is dumb as hell... if I wanted AI to read a book poorly to me, I'd just use screen reading accessibility features.

    Are there any good ones nowadays that don't sound like a robot?

    Sure there are. ElevenLabs is one. You can probably tell they’re not human but they’re really decent.

    They still don't understand the context of what they're reading though so they can't apply tone correctly.

    From what I've been able to hear it's not that bad. They're pretty good at having a general tone. But they may fail when it comes to emotional tones, like anger or sadness. But for just reading a book aloud there shouldn't be any issue.
