Archive.org has an AI read aloud that is very sophisticated. For example it can read this English text book in a voice with a German (or french or British or Finnish or about 20 others) accent. Click the headphones icon at the bottom, wait. Keep waiting it takes a few seconds, then click the head profile icon at the bottom right to choose voice with accent.

I have noticed that in android on a phone I could only get the accent choices to appear when I turned the phone horizontally and then hit the full screen icon. Then when I pressed the head icon the accent selections would appear.

It's actually kind of amazing it can do all those accents while reading in English

This is actually the future of voice acting.

Famous actors will have a copyright on their voice print and will sell the rights to use their voice print for limited use.

They won't have to actually read the lines anymore and it will be easy money for them.

Tons of deep fakes too. I don't like where this is going.

Yep. Having it speak with accent is no different than without. They're all accents, different ways of pronouncing the phonemes.

The cadence is always wrong with these electronic voice simulators. That's why you can always tell it's machine-generated if you listen for a few seconds. They get the pronunciation of the words right most of the time, but the rhythm and accenting is never true.

It doesn't sound good to me at all, the stresses on words are all wrong and sentences run into each other.

It's much better than others I have heard but the thing that really impressed me was it could read English in different accents. First time I have seen Anything like that other than Irish and Australian and those were special Microsoft patches. These are on archive.org. I was impressed. Try the taiwanese accent.

Also all voice sound better if you increase the speed to at least 1.25 x normal.
