EPUB to Audiobook Converter

This python script uses OpenAI API Text To Speech (TTS) Voice to convert EPUB books to Audiobooks with the ability to save progress and resume it.

Key Features

• EPUB Scanning and Selection: Scans the current directory for EPUB files and displays them as choices for the user.
• EPUB to MP3 Conversion: Converts the selected EPUB file to MP3 format, saving the audio files in a dedicated folder named after the EPUB file within the audiobooks directory.
• Chapter-based Division: Divides the EPUB content by chapters for organized processing.
• Chunked Audio Files: Saves the generated MP3 files in chunks, adhering to the maximum size limit of the OpenAI TTS API.

Features

• EPUB Metadata Extraction: Reads and extracts metadata such as title, author, date, and language from EPUB files.
• Chapter-wise Text Extraction: Extracts text content from each chapter of the EPUB file and cleans it for processing.
• Text Splitting: Splits extracted text into smaller chunks suitable for speech synthesis, based on a specified maximum text length.
• Speech Synthesis: Utilizes OpenAI's Text-to-Speech (TTS) API to convert text chunks into audio files.
• Parallel Processing: Uses multiprocessing to convert text chunks to audio in parallel, improving efficiency.
• Batch Processing: Uses batch size for efficient parallel processing of text chunks during conversion.
• Progress Saving and Resuming: Saves progress during conversion to a JSON file, allowing users to resume conversion from where they left off.
• User-Friendly CLI: Provides a command-line interface for selecting EPUB files, specifying output directories, and configuring batch sizes.
• Error Handling: Includes error handling to manage issues during audio synthesis and chunk processing.
