What is it?
EasyVoice turns text, including full-length novels, into speech. It generates audio and matching subtitle files, and streams output so long texts can start playing before generation finishes. Users can assign different voices to different characters or passages within one script, and adjust speaking rate, volume and pitch per segment.
The default voices come from Microsoft Edge TTS, and an optional AI recommendation feature uses an OpenAI-compatible model to choose dubbing parameters for each paragraph. The project also handles pause markers that insert real silence, and reads numbers such as stock codes or phone numbers digit by digit.
The frontend is built with Vue 3 and Element Plus, and the backend with Node.js and Express. It can be run with Docker or Docker Compose, or deployed locally with pnpm, and exposes HTTP endpoints for scripted generation.
