Hello. I'm wondering if there's a mac app that will allow you to easily create audio files from epub or any other kind of text. I know of a few that can in windows but I'd like to be able to convert useing the alex voice. Thanks.
I vibe coded a script to do this very thing. It splits and creates different mp3 files for different chapters of the book.
You will need to know how to use terminal and install some packages, but if you're good with that I'd be happy to send it to you.
It works on device, of course.
Hello. I'd be willing to try although I haven't installed anything via terminal yet. I could try and follow instructions though. Also, is the script used in the terminal or can it be used via gui? Thanks.

Speech Central has an export audio option.
I haven't tried it to see what it does, but I imagine it would do what you're after, assuming you can make it use the Alex voice, don't see why not.
