About audible-epub3-maker
funway/audible-epub3-maker
Generate audiobooks from plain EPUB files in EPUB 3 Media Overlays format (SMIL) using high-quality TTS engines like Azure and Kokoro.
This project helps authors, publishers, or content creators transform standard EPUB ebooks into interactive audiobooks. You provide a regular EPUB file, and it generates a new EPUB with embedded audio and synchronized text highlighting, along with separate MP3 files for each chapter. The result is an audiobook that readers can listen to while following along with the text on compatible ebook readers.
