Too bad the site couldn't hold up, I really wanted to see my contribution
http://www.gutenberg.net/etext04/awbv110.txt
there in HTML.
The first volume was converted to HTML by hand by someone else and to pdf, by machine, I think, whereas my site simply has the e-text:
http://rjs.org/gutenberg/Stevens_Thomas/
So an automated process would be a boon. What I'd really like to see is an OS text-to-voice reader program. I wrote a wxPython program to assist conversion from scanned text to PG format: http://rjs.org/gutenberg/OCR2Gutenberg/, but I have never been able to find a free set of spoken word wave files or speech library.
