A Go CLI tool that converts text content from formats like epub, PDF, mobi, txt, HTML, and docx into natural-sounding audiobooks with a single command. It uses Piper TTS models offline, manages them automatically, and supports multiple languages, mp3 output, and chapter metadata via ffmpeg.
Use cases
- convert an epub to an audiobook
- turn pdf documents into spoken audio
- listen to text files instead of reading them
- generate mp3 audiobooks with chapters
- create audiobooks offline for privacy
- make audiobooks in languages other than english
When to choose
- you want a one-command, offline, private text-to-speech pipeline for ebooks and documents
- you need multi-format input support (epub, pdf, mobi, docx, html) without manual conversion
- you want multilingual TTS using Piper models with configurable defaults
When to avoid
- you need cloud-quality neural voices or fine-grained voice cloning
- you want a GUI audiobook manager rather than a command-line tool
- you cannot install external dependencies like calibre's ebook-convert or ffmpeg
