Snake Driver! Cobras in Vietnam

De: Bob Rosenburgh

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Filled with action-packed eyewitness accounts of the development, fielding and Vietnam battle experiences of the U.S. Army's Cobra attack helicopter, Snake Driver! is the true story of the world's first-ever chopper built strictly for attack. It's one riveting account after another of the most powerful rotary-wing aircraft ever made as courageous pilots used its massive firepower to destroy the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army.

Terrible computer-generated performance

With so many abbreviations, technical details, and vietnamese place names, the obviously computer generated reading makes it unlistenable. Can’t even comment on the text as a result.

Fake narration sucks!

Every time it tried to say Leo it would garble. It also muffed KIA and read it like the name of the car, not Kay-eye-ay.

the virtual voice used on this narration leaves alot to be desired. needs work on slang usage.

Did not like the virtual voice, but otherwise a good book about the vietnam experience of Cobras

Bad AI reading

Good story, bad AI reading. Bad interpretation of military jargon, this makes listening less enjoyable.
If you’re going to have AI read military stories teach it proper jargon.

virtual voice isgarbage

I'm not reviewing the book just virtual voice. I have tried listening to it and it is trash. I won't listen to another book with A.I. generated voice

the true stories of the snakes and the snake drivers

I did not like the artificial intelligence narration instead of saying 50 caliber they said .50

AI errors

A good book, but the pronunciation errors of Vietnamese geography and military terms made it very distracting. The pronunciation of Vietnamese locations was grossly wrong, and I found to be very distracting. Very disappointing.

Straight forward text book like but with good stories.

I thought was an excellent historical review combined with personal stories to tell the history of cobras in Vietnam war.

Great stories almost ruined by AI narration

I loved hearing the tales of the Cobra and other aircraft and aircrew from the era, but d*mn if the AI voice wasn't a challenge. It wasn't the worst narration I've heard from "AI", but it certain made me cringe and chuckle when it pronounced KIA as "keeya".

Aside from that, if you can get past the fact heavy prologue and narration, it's still worth a listen and I don't regret it.
