## What it is
A Python application that converts non-DRM e-books (e.g., EPUB, PDF) into audiobooks with chapters and metadata using TTS engines like XTTS. It supports voice cloning, 1158+ languages, and offers CLI, web GUI, Docker, and cloud notebook (Colab/Kaggle/Hugging Face) interfaces.

## Use cases
- convert epub to audiobook
- generate audiobooks from pdf files
- clone my voice for text-to-speech narration
- make audiobooks in multiple languages
- batch convert ebooks to spoken audio with chapters
- run a local tts audiobook converter without gpu
- turn my ebook library into audio for listening

## When to choose
- you want to convert non-DRM ebooks into audiobooks with chapter and metadata support
- you need multilingual TTS or voice cloning for narration
- you want a self-hosted, CPU-friendly converter with Docker or GUI options

## When to avoid
- the ebooks are DRM-protected or not legally acquired
- you need studio-quality professional audiobook production with human narration
- you only need simple text-to-speech for short documents rather than full books
