This script converts an ePub file into an MP3 audiobook using macOS's built-in say command for text-to-speech synthesis and ffmpeg to convert AIFF files to MP3. The MP3 files are saved in a directory named after the ePub file, in the same directory where you run the script.

Requirements

macOS
Python 3.6 or higher
ffmpeg installed and available in the system's PATH

Python Dependencies

The Python dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt file and can be installed with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

python epub2mp3.py <epub_file>

Replace <epub_file> with the name of your ePub file. Each chapter will be output as a separate MP3 file.
