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
