I have been creating audiobooks from ebooks for a while now. I just grab an .epub and turn it into a pretty good audiobook in minutes for completely free using local models.

What do you use for the voice and the text to speech generator?

What's the state of the art in run-it-yourself TTS? I haven't seen anything that even comes close to what ElevenLabs is doing

I converted a book to audiobook a couple of months ago using the tts code here: https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS
Wasn't as good as eleven labs, but it had enough options that I found a voice that I liked to listen to.
