Great question! I need to come back to this thread to see if something is suggested.
Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks
Litebit@lemmy.world 2 days agoIs there an offline tool that generates realistic audio for epubs as Mp3 ? Something like the free Ai tool, Vibe which is for transcription. Is there something similar for TTS, runs locally without complicated setup using python and etc.

I’ve loaded epubs into the app ReadEra, which lets you read it like any other novel app or will, in real time, read it to you. It’s not the most natural of speech, but was good enough for my commute when I was in the midst of a compelling book.

Download TTS Server, and change the engine in Readera to use it. Use the Microsoft Azure settings in TTS, much more realistic. Little slow though is my only complaint as it sends/receives a paragraph at time, resulting in a pause now and again.

How do I do that? Have both readera and tts server on a Samsung Galaxy
