### v4 Now with Graphical interface, CUDA support, and many languages!
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
Bookvox generates `.m4b` audiobooks from regular `.epub` e-books,
|
|
71
|
+
using Kokoro's high-quality speech synthesis.
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
[Kokoro-82M](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M) is a recently published text-to-speech model with just 82M params and very natural sounding output.
|
|
74
|
+
It's released under Apache licence and it was trained on < 100 hours of audio.
|
|
75
|
+
It currently supports these languages: 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇮🇳 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 🇧🇷 🇨🇳
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
On a Google Colab's T4 GPU via Cuda, **it takes about 5 minutes to convert "Animal's Farm" by Orwell** (which is about 160,000 characters) to audiobook, at a rate of about 600 characters per second.
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
On my M2 MacBook Pro, on CPU, it takes about 1 hour, at a rate of about 60 characters per second.
|
|

|
+
## How to install the Command Line tool
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
If you have Python 3 on your computer, you can install it with pip.
|
|
85
|
+
You also need `espeak-ng` and `ffmpeg` installed on your machine:
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
```bash
|
|
88
|
+
sudo apt install ffmpeg espeak-ng # on Ubuntu/Debian 🐧
|
|
89
|
+
pip install bookvox
|
|
90
|
+
```
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
```bash
|
|
93
|
+
brew install ffmpeg espeak-ng # on Mac 🍏
|
|
94
|
+
pip install bookvox
|
|
95
|
+
```
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
Then you can convert an .epub directly with:
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
```
|
|
100
|
+
bookvox book.epub -v af_sky
|
|
101
|
+
```
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
It will first create a bunch of `book_chapter_1.wav`, `book_chapter_2.wav`, etc. files in the same directory,
|
|
104
|
+
and at the end it will produce a `book.m4b` file with the whole book you can listen with VLC or any
|
|
105
|
+
audiobook player.
|
|
106
|
+
It will only produce the `.m4b` file if you have `ffmpeg` installed on your machine.
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
## How to run the GUI
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
The GUI is a simple graphical interface to use bookvox.
|
|
111
|
+
You need some extra dependencies to run the GUI:
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
```
|
|
114
|
+
sudo apt install ffmpeg espeak-ng
|
|
115
|
+
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev # just for Ubuntu/Debian 🐧, Windows/Mac don't need this
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
pip install bookvox pillow wxpython
|
|
118
|
+
```
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
Then you can run the GUI with:
|
|
121
|
+
```
|
|
122
|
+
bookvox-ui
|
|
123
|
+
```
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
## How to run on Windows
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
After many trials, on Windows we recommend to install bookvox in a Python venv:
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
1. Open a Windows terminal
|
|
130
|
+
2. Create anew folder: `mkdir bookvox`
|
|
131
|
+
3. Enter the folder: `cd bookvox`
|
|
132
|
+
4. Create a venv: `python -m venv venv`
|
|
133
|
+
5. Activate the venv: `.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1`
|
|
134
|
+
6. Install the dependencies: `pip install bookvox pillow wxpython`
|
|
135
|
+
7. Now you can run `bookvox` or `bookvox-ui`
|
|
136
|
+
8. For Cuda support, you need to install Pytorch accordingly: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
## Speed
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
By default the audio is generated using a normal speed, but you can make it up to twice slower or faster by specifying a speed argument between 0.5 to 2.0:
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
```
|
|
144
|
+
bookvox book.epub -v af_sky -s 1.5
|
|
145
|
+
```
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
## Supported Voices
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
Use `-v` option to specify the voice to use. Available voices are listed here.
|
|
150
|
+
The first letter is the language code and the second is the gender of the speaker e.g. `im_nicola` is an italian male voice.

|

## How to run on GPU
|
|
169
|
+
|
|
170
|
+
By default, bookvox runs on CPU. If you pass the option `--cuda` it will try to use the Cuda device via Torch.
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
Check out this example: [Bookvox running on a Google Colab Notebook with Cuda ](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/164PQLowogprWQpRjKk33e-8IORAvqXKI?usp=sharing]).
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
We don't currently support Apple Silicon, as there is not yet a Kokoro implementation in MLX. As soon as it will be available, we will support it.
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
## Manually pick chapters to convert
|
|
177
|
+
|
|
178
|
+
Sometimes you want to manually select which chapters/sections in the e-book to read out loud.
|
|
179
|
+
To do so, you can use `--pick` to interactively choose the chapters to convert (without running the GUI).
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
## Help page
|
|
183
|
+
|
|
184
|
+
For all the options available, you can check the help page `bookvox --help`:
|

[Kokoro-82M](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M) is a recently published text-to-speech model with just 82M params and very natural sounding output.
|
|
22
|
+
It's released under Apache licence and it was trained on < 100 hours of audio.
|
|
23
|
+
It currently supports these languages: 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇮🇳 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 🇧🇷 🇨🇳

On a Google Colab's T4 GPU via Cuda, **it takes about 5 minutes to convert "Animal's Farm" by Orwell** (which is about 160,000 characters) to audiobook, at a rate of about 600 characters per second.
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
On my M2 MacBook Pro, on CPU, it takes about 1 hour, at a rate of about 60 characters per second.

## How to install the Command Line tool
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
If you have Python 3 on your computer, you can install it with pip.
|
|
33
|
+
You also need `espeak-ng` and `ffmpeg` installed on your machine:
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
```bash
|
|
36
|
+
sudo apt install ffmpeg espeak-ng # on Ubuntu/Debian 🐧
|
|
37
|
+
pip install bookvox
|
|
38
|
+
```
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
```bash
|
|
41
|
+
brew install ffmpeg espeak-ng # on Mac 🍏
|
|
42
|
+
pip install bookvox
|
|
43
|
+
```
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
Then you can convert an .epub directly with:
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
```
|
|
48
|
+
bookvox book.epub -v af_sky
|
|
49
|
+
```
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
It will first create a bunch of `book_chapter_1.wav`, `book_chapter_2.wav`, etc. files in the same directory,
|
|
52
|
+
and at the end it will produce a `book.m4b` file with the whole book you can listen with VLC or any
|
|
53
|
+
audiobook player.
|
|
54
|
+
It will only produce the `.m4b` file if you have `ffmpeg` installed on your machine.
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
## How to run the GUI
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
The GUI is a simple graphical interface to use bookvox.
|
|
59
|
+
You need some extra dependencies to run the GUI:
|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+
```
|
|
62
|
+
sudo apt install ffmpeg espeak-ng
|
|
63
|
+
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev # just for Ubuntu/Debian 🐧, Windows/Mac don't need this
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
pip install bookvox pillow wxpython
|
|
66
|
+
```
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
Then you can run the GUI with:
|
|
69
|
+
```
|
|
70
|
+
bookvox-ui
|
|
71
|
+
```
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
## How to run on Windows
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
After many trials, on Windows we recommend to install bookvox in a Python venv:
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
1. Open a Windows terminal
|
|
78
|
+
2. Create anew folder: `mkdir bookvox`
|
|
79
|
+
3. Enter the folder: `cd bookvox`
|
|
80
|
+
4. Create a venv: `python -m venv venv`
|
|
81
|
+
5. Activate the venv: `.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1`
|
|
82
|
+
6. Install the dependencies: `pip install bookvox pillow wxpython`
|
|
83
|
+
7. Now you can run `bookvox` or `bookvox-ui`
|
|
84
|
+
8. For Cuda support, you need to install Pytorch accordingly: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
## Speed
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
By default the audio is generated using a normal speed, but you can make it up to twice slower or faster by specifying a speed argument between 0.5 to 2.0:
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
```
|
|
92
|
+
bookvox book.epub -v af_sky -s 1.5
|
|
93
|
+
```
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
## Supported Voices
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
Use `-v` option to specify the voice to use. Available voices are listed here.
|
|
98
|
+
The first letter is the language code and the second is the gender of the speaker e.g. `im_nicola` is an italian male voice.

## How to run on GPU
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
By default, bookvox runs on CPU. If you pass the option `--cuda` it will try to use the Cuda device via Torch.
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
Check out this example: [Bookvox running on a Google Colab Notebook with Cuda ](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/164PQLowogprWQpRjKk33e-8IORAvqXKI?usp=sharing]).
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
We don't currently support Apple Silicon, as there is not yet a Kokoro implementation in MLX. As soon as it will be available, we will support it.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
## Manually pick chapters to convert
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
Sometimes you want to manually select which chapters/sections in the e-book to read out loud.
|
|
127
|
+
To do so, you can use `--pick` to interactively choose the chapters to convert (without running the GUI).
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
## Help page
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
For all the options available, you can check the help page `bookvox --help`:
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
```
|
|
135
|
+
usage: bookvox [-h] [-v VOICE] [-p] [-s SPEED] [-c] [-o FOLDER] epub_file_path
|
|
136
|
+
|
|
137
|
+
positional arguments:
|
|
138
|
+
epub_file_path Path to the epub file
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
options:
|
|
141
|
+
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
142
|
+
-v VOICE, --voice VOICE
|
|
143
|
+
Choose narrating voice: a, b, e, f, h, i, j, p, z
|
|
144
|
+
-p, --pick Interactively select which chapters to read in the audiobook
|
|
145
|
+
-s SPEED, --speed SPEED
|
|
146
|
+
Set speed from 0.5 to 2.0
|
|
147
|
+
-c, --cuda Use GPU via Cuda in Torch if available
|
|
148
|
+
-o FOLDER, --output FOLDER
|
|
149
|
+
Output folder for the audiobook and temporary files
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
example:
|
|
152
|
+
bookvox book.epub -l en-us -v af_sky
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
to use the GUI, run:
|
|
155
|
+
bookvox-ui
|
|
156
|
+
```
