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!

that's pretty cool. it's neat that it works on different systems and the processing times are quite varied.

running locally and free is a huge plus. curious, what was the toughest part in making it? definitely gonna try it out.
