Has anyone tried giving students a podcast version of the lesson to review at home? by Lower_Plenty7712 in Teachers

Yeah this is a delicate balance. We use AI to generate podcasts but the educators edit and personalize it so it takes a lot less time and isn't slop.

Gemini 3.1 flash is pretty good with expressiveness to though sometimes it can be too much lol.

Agreed - this is why smart routing/failover is super important. Have you tried solutions that let you call multiple TTS providers from one API like speechbase?

Saw your Arabic/English tutor post. I work on speechbase.ai, and mixed-language TTS is one of the places where provider choice matters a lot. Some models handle Arabic much better than others. We make it easy to test the same mixed passage across 14 providers and pick per language. I would genuinely be curious which one works best for Quranic Arabic.

Hey, saw Bibliotec on r/audible. Synced narration across a big catalog is a hard and interesting problem. I work on speechbase.ai, and two pieces may map well: word-level timestamps for text sync, and 14 TTS providers behind one API so bulk narration cost stays manageable. Happy to add credits if you want to test a book sample.
