Calibre 7.18.0 changelog:
New features
- E-book viewer: Read aloud: A new Text-to-Speech engine (Piper) that uses a neural network for realistic sounding voices
- To use it access the viewer controls and click the Read aloud button or press "Ctrl+S". The neural network is run locally, no cloud services are used. Using the OS Text-to-Speech engine is still possible by clicking the configure button on the Read aloud control bar. Note that the new engine highlights the currently read sentence rather than word.
- New experimental engine to convert PDF files with support for automatic header/footer removal
- Turn it on via the PDF input section of the conversion dialog.
- Content server: Viewer: Read Aloud: Implement word-by-word tracking when reading aloud if the browser and voice used support it, for example, Chromium on Windows, Firefox on Android and Safari on macOS
- Image popup: Add a context menu with an option to reset the current zoom
- Edit metadata dialog: Show the number of data files on the data files button
