The Project Gutenberg Open Audiobook Collection

quote [ Thousands of free and open audiobooks powered by Microsoft AI ]

Project Gutenberg has uploaded 4800 public domain works as audio books to their podcast stream.

Based on a few titles I checked, the text-to-speech sounds very natural. There was a hiccup or two here or there, but at about the hit rate of "I would have done that differently if I were reading it out loud" I get from human-read stuff.
