TinyGem Listen is similar, has speed control and different voice quality.

Curious if you like it. It (TinyGem) has been a passion project of mine for a while now.

Just tried this on https://craftinginterpreters.com/a-map-of-the-territory.html and I'm getting weird pauses in the middle of sentences

Know what it is (sometimes text parses with extra spaces causing pauses). Will fix soon.

I do not think extra spaces are the issue (since there aren't any in the link). I suspect it is converting fix chunk of words into audio and before the next chunk there is an awkward pause. Still, very soothing and natural voice.

Seems like that uses azure text to speech, right?
