Loving this app. Thankyou all for the great work.

It would be good to crowd source some of the word replacements

There are a bunch of clear ones based on the books I read. $1 million reads as dollar one million 2010 reads as two thousand ten.

I'm currently doing these changes on the command line. Happy to contribute mines just need to confirm the format.

I also wonder if we should consider having two files - an included on that had been throughly vetted and custom replacements.

Hey @haydonryan . Thanks for reaching out. Not sure if the word replacement you mentioned would be something similar with this PR https://github.com/p0n1/epub_to_audiobook/pull/80 we have merged.

Besides, just curious about which TTS engine are you using?

Oh yes good point - it's definitely going to be specific to the TTS engine. I'm currently using piper, but have been thinking about trying https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS, but as this isn't currently a supported option, I'd export the text files before passing it on.

Still looking for the best free TTS system. I like piper but the lack of GPU acceleration is frustrating.
