ebook2audiobook is a tool to convert legally obtained eBooks (non-DRM) into fully narrated audiobooks, complete with chapters and metadata. It automates the pipeline: it reads the eBook file, splits it into appropriate segments (chapters, paragraphs), uses text-to-speech (TTS) models to synthesize audio, optionally applies voice cloning, and outputs a final audiobook — ideal for people who prefer listening over reading, or for accessibility purposes. The tool supports a wide array of underlying TTS backends (XTTSv2, Bark, VITS, Fairseq, Tacotron2, YourTTS and more), which gives flexibility depending on hardware availability, voice preference, and language. ...

...The name suggests “academy” or “study hall,” and the tool aims to help users ingest, organize, and manage reading content — possibly offering features like text parsing, annotation, metadata generation, translation, or storage for later reference. The repository is set up to support document ingestion, indexing, and maybe some AI-aided summarization or lookup functions, which helps users convert large text corpora into a structured, searchable knowledge base. For learners, researchers, or avid readers, Shuyuan offers a way to bridge from plain text files or eBooks into a manageable, interactive resource — one where notes, references, and reading progress can be tracked. ...

EPUB to Audiobook Converter is a tool designed to convert EPUB ebooks into chaptered audiobooks, optimized specifically for Audiobookshelf servers. It reads each chapter from an EPUB file, generates audio using a chosen text-to-speech backend, and outputs separate MP3 files with chapter titles preserved as metadata to make navigation easier. The project supports multiple TTS providers, including Microsoft Azure TTS, EdgeTTS, OpenAI TTS, local Piper, and Kokoro via an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, allowing users to choose between cloud and self-hosted voices. A recent addition is a Gradio-based WebUI, which wraps all configuration options in a graphical interface for users who prefer not to work with the command line. ...

...This can be very useful for accessibility, content consumption on the go, or for users who prefer audio over reading. The repository supports handling common ebook formats and generating outputs that combine audio plus caption metadata. By automating text-to-speech for arbitrary documents, abogen reduces the friction of producing audiobooks and could be integrated into larger workflows (e.g., batch converting a library of texts).

Open Speech Corpora is a curated catalog of speech datasets intended to support research and development in automatic speech recognition, text-to-speech, and other speech technologies. The repository is organized as a set of tables that list corpora along with their languages, total hours, number of speakers, download links, and licenses, giving practitioners a quick way to find data that matches their needs. It emphasizes free and truly “open” datasets, favoring those released under...

TransformerTTS is an implementation of a non-autoregressive Transformer-based neural network for text-to-speech, built with TensorFlow 2. It takes inspiration from architectures like FastSpeech, FastSpeech 2, FastPitch, and Transformer TTS, and extends them with its own aligner and forward models. The system separates alignment learning and acoustic modeling: an autoregressive Transformer is used as an aligner to extract phoneme-to-frame durations, while a non-autoregressive...
