What it is

A converter that turns EPUB, MOBI, PDF and many other e-book formats into audiobooks with chapters and metadata, using engines such as XTTSv2, Bark, VITS and Fairseq. It can clone a voice from your own audio sample, read scanned pages through OCR, and output M4B, MP3, FLAC and other formats in over a thousand languages. Readers who want to listen to their own DRM-free books run it through a Gradio web interface, a headless command line, or Docker on CPU or GPU.
