All you do is give it your book in any ebook format and it’ll let you select a voice for each character it finds in it. So far I’ve gotten it to work on: Intel mac, linux,windows, and steam deck. For a 5+ hour audiobook (example being the first book in the guardians of Ga’Hoole series), Generating on cpu: 1050 min Generating on 3060 in Ubuntu natively:130 min Generating on windows with 3060: 250 min

You can even set the chapter deliminator which will choose the keyword it uses to detect when there’s a new chapter so the final files are chap1, chap2,… and so on.

The whole thing runs locally for free, been working on this project for quite a while so far, love to hear your thoughts!
