MAP material digitization

[The Archivist]

All of the materials added by Frans will be preserved permanently

What about the analogue material he’s got at home, and the unpublished files on his computer? There may not be much of it, but as I said, it’s exceptionally rare and significant.

I have made the case that this should include copies of all the documents saved by Yesmap and the archivists on Matrix.

Mind adding me to that Matrix room, or is it strictly for the chosen few?

I’ve had a go with some AI audio apps, and I must say they’re not quite as good as they’re made out to be, haha. Here’s a snippet from O'Carroll’s preface.

FairBlueLove:
Of course Tom's voice would be best

Well, it’s a solid choice, but for me it’s second best. However, I do wonder if there’s a way to recover his ‘original’ voice from the time he was writing the book.

FairBlueLove:
A good "voice actor" like Little Nicky [...] would be great.

I did consider him, but more in the context of dubbing Loving Sander. It’s relatively short, so it ought to be easier for a real person to produce. It’s by an American author, so Little Nicky’s accent fits perfectly. As for O'Carroll’s book, I picture it with a British accent so posh, even Prince George might raise an eyebrow

Today I was again thinking about the audiobook project and I came back to this thread, realizing I lost this post - and now the files are gone, damn; I was curious to hear your results. In there any news about that? In the next few days I'll try to generate something myself and post it here.
