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...

...It is designed to produce human-like speech with natural intonation, emotion, and rhythm, targeting quality comparable to or better than many closed-source systems. The project ships both pretrained and finetuned English models, as well as a family of multilingual models released as a research preview, and includes data-processing scripts so users can train or finetune their own variants. Inference is provided through a Python package that uses vLLM under the hood for high-throughput, low-latency generation, including streaming examples that show how to generate audio chunks in real time. The maintainers provide Colab notebooks, a standardized prompting format, and one-click deployment via Baseten for production-grade, FP8/FP16 optimized inference with ~200 ms streaming latency.

TTS-Vue is a desktop text-to-speech application built with Electron, Vue, ElementPlus, and Vite, focused on using Microsoft’s official Speech API for high-quality neural synthesis. It wraps the Microsoft TTS WebSocket interface in a clean UI so users can paste or load text, choose voices, tweak parameters, and export audio without touching raw API calls. The app supports SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language), letting power users specify fine-grained control over pronunciation, pauses,...

...The idea is simple but effective: since Edge’s online TTS voices (such as “Xiaoxiao” or “Yunyang” for Chinese) are often high-quality, this tool provides a way to “capture” them offline for later use. Users can type or paste text, preview the speech, and then trigger the recorder; the system automatically captures the audio output from the browser and writes it to a WAV file. The tool includes a small GUI (built with Aardio) and aims to be plug-and-play — after downloading the .exe you can immediately start using it without deep configuration. It is cloud-based in the sense that it relies on Edge’s online TTS service, so internet connection is required; but once recorded, the audio is local.
