Add audiomaker

[AnkushRathour]

What is this Python project?

audiomaker is a Python package for local text-to-speech generation, designed specifically to handle long-form input by automatically splitting it into manageable chunks and seamlessly merging the resulting audio files.

Unlike many other TTS tools, audiomaker is:

• 🆓 Free and open source
• 💻 Fully offline/local — requires no API keys or cloud dependencies
• 🔊 Capable of generating hours-long audio from large .txt files (e.g., books, scripts)

This makes it ideal for creating:

• Audiobooks and narrated blog posts
• Podcast episodes and interviews
• Long-form video voiceovers or lectures

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/audiomaker/
GitHub: https://github.com/AnkushRathour/AudioMaker

🔧 Features

• Uses Microsoft Edge TTS (edge-tts) for high-quality neural voices, supporting multiple languages and voice styles
• Automatically chunks large input texts based on configurable parameters (e.g., chunk size, pause duration)
• Merges generated audio chunks into a single smooth audio file without audible gaps
• Provides both CLI and Python API interfaces for flexible usage
• Supports output in common audio formats like .mp3 and .wav
• Includes built-in progress tracking and error handling for robust long-form synthesis

Successfully tested on very large .txt files, producing over 4 hours of continuous audio output

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

• Unlike cloud-based TTS services (e.g., Google TTS, AWS Polly), audiomaker is fully offline and local with no API keys or cloud billing
• Compared to gTTS, it requires no internet connection and supports longer inputs reliably
• Uses Microsoft Edge TTS with advanced neural voices, unlike basic TTS engines like pyttsx3
• Automates chunking and merging to handle arbitrarily long texts without manual intervention
• Provides an end-to-end pipeline minimizing user effort for long-form audio generation
