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. ...

...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...
