My Other Repos I Want to Integrate into the App for Extra Options :)

• Add app parameter that launches the ebook2audiobookpiper-tts GUI.(Piper tts appears to have issues working in ARM (apple silicon)MAC But runs fine in the docker on ARM)
• Add app parameter that launches the ebook2audiobookstyletts2 GUI.
• Add app parameter that launches the ebook2audiobook-espeak GUI.
• Add app parameter that launches the FineTune XTTS GUI.
• Add app parameter for using Barktts documentation from coqui tts

Create a standard function for load_model() and inference_model() for:

• ⓍXTTSv2
• Styletts2
• 🪈 Piper-tts
• 🐶 Bark tts

# Standard functions should be:
def load_model() - Will load model and download model to load if not available locally
def inference_model() - Will inference the pre-loaded model

Wanted Auto-testing scripts for development

Another interesting option would be to change voices between chapters. for i.e.:
--voice_mapping {"chapters": {1:"john.wav",2:"stella.wav",3:"child.wav",4:"random"} }
so the selected chapters will see their voice mapped, others will keep the main --voice intact.
