Local TTS support #16

Open sarutobiumon opened 7 months ago

Amazing work, but would be even more amazing if we have alternatives to online-paid only TTS options such as PiperTTS, CoquiTTS, Bark...etc Thanks for the hard work and keep it up!

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, the next step is to add local free TTS options. Still investigating.

Right now I'm doing this manually on the command line with piper voice. It works well with one exception - the breaks need to be converted to '.', so using sed to process.

Example for one chapter

python3 main.py book.epub output_dir --output_text --preview
sed -i 's/@BRK#/.\r\n/g' output_dir/0015_1.txt
cat output_dir/0015_1.txt | ../../piper/piper --model ../../piper/piper-voices/en/en_US/kathleen/low/en_US-kathleen-low.onnx -f ch1.wav
