I made a telegram bot for my mother that downloads yt videos and extracts the audio and makes it available to her via jellyfin from my homeserver. She downloaded way over 1tb in a year.

I download epub files and then have ElevenLabs read it to me using AI generated voices I created/cloned using its built in tool.

For example, I’m currently listening to the foundation novels but having it narrated by an AI clone of Lou Lobell’s voice since she narrates the tv show. You can also export narrations as mp3 files and…
VLC for listening on and copying to mobile.

What is the average cost of using elevenlabs for that? they have great voices, but I would have assumed this would have been cost prohibitive.
