Traditional ACX costs are brutal for new authors ($250+ per finished hour). I came across Eclipse which uses AI voices and lets you produce your own - first chapter free, then you pay per chapter from just $1/per minute if you want to continue.

For someone who just wants to test if their book works in audio, this seems way more approachable. Anyone tried it? What other low-cost options exist?
