Convert eBooks to Audiobooks using a Text-to-Speech model. You can either launch the
Gradio interface or run the script in headless mode for direct conversion.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --share SHARE         Set to True to enable a public shareable Gradio link. Defaults
                        to False.
  --headless HEADLESS   Set to True to run in headless mode without the Gradio
                        interface. Defaults to False.
  --ebook EBOOK         Path to the ebook file for conversion. Required in headless
                        mode.
  --voice VOICE         Path to the target voice file for TTS. Optional, uses a default
                        voice if not provided.
  --language LANGUAGE   Language for the audiobook conversion. Options: en, es, fr, de,
                        it, pt, pl, tr, ru, nl, cs, ar, zh-cn, ja, hu, ko. Defaults to
                        English (en).
  --use_custom_model USE_CUSTOM_MODEL
                        Set to True to use a custom TTS model. Defaults to False. Must
                        be True to use custom models, otherwise you'll get an error.
  --custom_model CUSTOM_MODEL
                        Path to the custom model file (.pth). Required if using a custom
                        model.
  --custom_config CUSTOM_CONFIG
                        Path to the custom config file (config.json). Required if using
                        a custom model.
  --custom_vocab CUSTOM_VOCAB
                        Path to the custom vocab file (vocab.json). Required if using a
                        custom model.
  --custom_model_url CUSTOM_MODEL_URL
                        URL to download the custom model as a zip file. Optional, but
                        will be used if provided. Examples include David Attenborough's
                        model: 'https://huggingface.co/drewThomasson/xtts_David_Attenbor
                        ough_fine_tune/resolve/main/Finished_model_files.zip?download=tr
                        ue'. More XTTS fine-tunes can be found on my Hugging Face at
                        'https://huggingface.co/drewThomasson'.
  --temperature TEMPERATURE
                        Temperature for the model. Defaults to 0.65. Higher Tempatures
                        will lead to more creative outputs IE: more Hallucinations.
                        Lower Tempatures will be more monotone outputs IE: less
                        Hallucinations.
  --length_penalty LENGTH_PENALTY
                        A length penalty applied to the autoregressive decoder. Defaults
                        to 1.0.
  --repetition_penalty REPETITION_PENALTY
                        A penalty that prevents the autoregressive decoder from
                        repeating itself. Defaults to 2.0.
  --top_k TOP_K         Top-k sampling. Lower values mean more likely outputs and
                        increased audio generation speed. Defaults to 50.
  --top_p TOP_P         Top-p sampling. Lower values mean more likely outputs and
                        increased audio generation speed. Defaults to 0.8.
  --speed SPEED         Speed factor for the speech generation. IE: How fast the
                        Narrerator will speak. Defaults to 1.0.
  --enable_text_splitting ENABLE_TEXT_SPLITTING
                        Enable splitting text into sentences. Defaults to True.

Example: python script.py --headless --ebook path_to_ebook --voice path_to_voice
--language en --use_custom_model True --custom_model model.pth --custom_config
config.json --custom_vocab vocab.json
