Finally! Been trying all the TTS models popping up on here for ages, and they've all been pretty average, or not work on Mac, or only work on really short text, or be reeealy slow.
But this one works pretty quick, is easy to install, has some passible voices. Finally I can start listening to those books that have no audio version.
I'm a slow reader, so don't read many books. If a book doesn't have an audiobook version, chances are I won't read it.
PS, I have used elevenlabs in the past for some small TTS projects, but for a full book, it's price prohibitive for personal use. (elevenlabs has some amazing voices)
Your lucky, when someone in my building triggers the fire alarm for there flat, the really loud alarm sounds in all the flats in the building, with an audio note saying that someone has triggered the fire alarm and you can leave if you want, but it's not required. I guess it will tell you when they have confirmed it's a real fire, and you really have to leave.

Thank you to the dev/s who worked on this!
