Audiobook Gen

About

Audiobook Gen converts text to audiobook format. It allows you to choose which voice you want to listen to.

• —Do you want to listen to a book that isn't available on Audible?
• —Have you tried an audiobook from LibriVox and found the audio quality lacking?
• —Don't have time to sit and read a document, but would prefer to listen to it?

You can input various text formats (txt, pdf, epub - more options in development) and output a zip archive of audio files (wav). This is an open-source tool based on the Silero text-to-speech toolkit and uses Streamlit to deliver the application.
