Show HN: DiscoVox – Audiobooks with synchronized text for language learning

hey HN! been working on this project on the side for a couple years now.

as a kid i got an audiobook along with a text copy to learn english. i found that to be a very nice combination.

i have been trying to learn more languages, but found that purely reading tends to worsen my pronunciation, but my listening comprehension is not good enough for audiobooks.

so i took some public domain audiobooks, synchronized them with text, paired it up with translations in some of the most spoken languages, and put it all on a website.

as this is for learning, i am avoiding ai generated audio entirely.

looking for feedback and happy to discuss details!
