Audiblez is a tool for generating high-quality .m4b audiobooks directly from .epub e-books using the Kokoro-82M neural text-to-speech model. It focuses on making audiobook creation easy and fast: from a single command, the tool splits an e-book into chapters, synthesizes audio for each section, and then merges the results into a structured audiobook with chapter-based WAV files and a final .m4b container. The Kokoro-82M model it uses is compact (82M parameters) yet natural sounding, trained on under 100 hours of audio, and supports multiple languages, including English (US/UK), Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese. ...
