Tired of cloud-based text-to-speech services? Abogen is an open-source solution that lets you convert text into audiobooks and other audio content right on your own machine. Available on GitHub, Abogen uses the Kokoro-82M model to generate realistic voices without sending your data to the cloud, prioritizing user privacy. This tool supports ePub, PDF, and plain text, making it easy to create audiobooks from your existing digital libraries. You can even use it to create voiceovers for platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Abogen boasts impressive speed, converting around 3,000 characters into over 3 minutes of audio in just 11 seconds on a GTX 2060M. It offers broad language support, including American and British English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Chinese, with customizable speech rates and synchronized subtitle generation. Users can choose to output audio in WAV, FLAC, or MP3 formats. Abogen’s drag-and-drop interface makes it simple to use, and it’s compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
