ANYaudiobook

A Python tool to convert EPUB ebooks to audiobooks using Microsoft Edge's Text-to-Speech engine.

Features

• Convert any ebook (currently only .epub) to .mp3 audiobook chapters
• Extract chapter titles and content automatically
• Process multiple chapters concurrently for faster conversion
• Organize output files with proper sequential numbering
• Support for multiple Microsoft Edge TTS voices
• Smart title detection and formatting

How It Works

ANYaudiobook parses ebook files, extracts the text content chapter by chapter, and uses Edge TTS to generate natural-sounding audio files. The tool intelligently handles chapter titles, removes unnecessary elements like scripts and styles, and processes the content in parallel to speed up conversion.

Usage

from anyaudiobook.main import EpubToAudiobookConverter

# Initialize the converter with the path to EPUB file, output directory, and voice
converter = EpubToAudiobookConverter(
    "path/to/your/ebook.epub",
    "output_directory",
    "en-US-BrianNeural"  # English (US) male voice
)

# Extract chapters from the EPUB file
converter.chunk_epub()

# Generate the audiobook (with 10 concurrent chapters processing)
converter.generate_audiobook(number_of_concurrent_tasks=10)

Available Voices

You can get a list of all available voices:

import asyncio
from anyaudiobook.main import get_available_voices

# Get all available voices
voices = asyncio.run(get_available_voices())
print(voices)

Requirements

• Python 3.9+ (tested with py3.13)
• uv (or install manually against pyproject.toml requirements)
• Windows 10/11 with Microsoft Edge installed
