What it does

Abogen is an open-source text-to-speech application for converting EPUB, PDF, text, Markdown, and subtitle files into audio with synchronized captions. It supports audiobook creation, voiceovers, adjustable speech speed, voice previews, custom voice mixing, chapter selection, separate or merged chapter files, and batch queues.

The project provides a PyQt6 desktop GUI and a Flask web UI, with downloadable WAV, FLAC, MP3, OPUS, and M4B outputs plus SRT or ASS subtitles. It uses Kokoro-based models, supports Windows, macOS, and Linux installation, and documents pre-downloading models and voices for offline use. The web interface runs locally at port 8808.
