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
