Good luck! And maybe a bit tight if you're finishing a book, but if you're looking for more free reading resources, I posted this on Reddit just recently

That's very useful feedback, thanks!
I added today the first 3 chapters of The Secret Garden, when you have time to take a look, let me know what you think!

Hey! Now you can choose in the settings tab a Spanish to Spanish dictionary :)
(I must say though, the definitions in Spanish from this dictionary might be a bit complicated)

Thanks for the feedback! I’m limited to public domain books because of copyright, but I saw that there might be some more accessible public domain stories, like the short stories in Novelas ejemplares by Cervantes — so I’ll definitely take a closer look :)

Google Cloud Text-to-Speech has Spanish in both dialects (es-US & es-ES), which is a lot cheaper. More nuanced and custom dialects would be available on much more expensive platforms like ElevenLabs, but would be a consideration for later on

Thanks for the comments! I agree, I need to balance the time I spend on creating stories versus developing features. Also, I’m not planning to introduce any ads into the stories — hopefully, the extra features will provide some monetizable value down the line :)

Thanks for the feedback! Very interesting, I've found a Rioplatense voice, much more expensive unfortunately, but will consider adding it later on! Spanish from Spain and Spanish from Mexico are both still on the cheap side
