    盗墓笔记 (don't know eng name) if I can find the raws, and Time because the current trans is so slow and what I've read so far is great :)

    Edit: Nevermind didn't read properly
    Isn't盗墓笔记 ( graverobber chronicles) already translated and officially published in English as well? A couple of volumes are available already.

    Yeah but some things are lost in translation that (according to my friend) while not important to the storyline, has an impact on the the development of char or scenes

    Thanks for the information! I do understand Mandarin but I speak Cantonese at home lol ~ useful app to brush up and expand on my Cantonese listening skills (been watching Korean dramas with Cantonese dub for that very reason).

    This is perfect for me who is Cantonese but is illiterate part basic words!!!!

    EDIT: I've tried it, and it's only okay to a certain extent. You still wouldn't understand the gist of the story as each word is pronounced out and you lose the essence of the story.

    Haha Dae Jung Gum?

    ??? You can adjust the speed at which it is read.

    If you set the speed too slowly, it does sound awkward.

    Also can pair with google translate with chrome app.

    Yeah I did, and I tried it with an Android product as well (Google's TTS)
    It's useful but I wouldn't use it to listen to raws ahead as I lose the essence of the story.

    I have been using text to cantonese for more then 2 years for my novel needs. I pay for the program called textaid from readspeaker. I love their quality. Also they have an option to download as mp3.

    Try demo below, let me know what you guys think.

    I spend whole weekend listening and at work too. I feel like my brain is so broken... I feel like an drug addict. No sleep... ahhhhh
