[Feature Request] Small sample of voice #2

Closed danmed closed 9 months ago

It would be awesome if you had a function to convert a very short epub file with an option to select the different tts voices.. that way we could know what the voice will sound like before converting a full epub.

or maybe just include a single short chapter epub in the github that can be used as your example..

Good idea, this will definitely make it more convenient for people to try out this tool.

I just added a sample I hold in the README https://github.com/p0n1/epub_to_audiobook#audio-sample. And will add more.

BTW, I played with the official voice gallery to select different voices.

Also updated this in README.

You can also listen to samples of the available voices in the Azure TTS Voice Gallery (sign in required) to help you choose the best voice for your audiobook.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback.

@danmed In the latest release v0.2.0, one can use the --chapter_start and --chapter_end options to select target chapters for converting, which would be useful to test different TTS voices. Thanks again for your advice.
