Plato's Socrates, Librivox readers and AI.
Posted: March 4th, 2024, 12:21 am
Hi.
First post here, hope I posted this in the right forum.
I am creating a free Visual Novel that includes all Plato's works. It is named Plato's Socrates.
An early version without voices can be found here: https://kakoeimon.itch.io/platos-socrates
The texts I used are translations by Benjamin Jowett or George Burges.
I heavily used AI to develop this project. All the graphics are AI generated (It is not that simple as it may sound).
Apart from using AI, my work was to separate the text into speakers and then convert all the books into a simple format that can be used in an engine I wrote for visual novels.
Now I am in the process of creating a voiced version.
All voices were generated by the use of samples from here.
The project is ready, and I am in the proofreading - editing stage, and probably I will release it before I end this stage.
I write this here because I want to acknowledge to the librivox readers that I used their voices.
I hope that I will get their blessings on this and to give credits to whomever wants or have no problem doing so.
Here is my list of readers in their forum names. (I don't know if there is a way to tag them)

The project is Open Source and is going to be given for free.
It is going to run to Android, Windows, Linux and Mac.
