I also prefer TTS. The spin voice actors put on the text always distracts me. With text to speech I only get what's in the text itself.
I wrote a Perl/Tk GUI script for my file manager to manage text to speech through Festival 1.96 w/voice_nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts. Unlike neural network AI models it runs fine even on very slow machines.
