Describe the feature/enhancement

Hi, Thanks a lot the great app first. I am just wondering if its possible to integrate TTS? I am using some apps with TTS feature to listen epub or aws ebook all the time. It will be nice audiobookshelf could have this feature. Thanks again.

oh so this, I would LOVE to see some tts in this. My dumb brain will only allow books go in my ears and there are so many books that have not audio option.

I currently use SayIt on android, but with all this cool AI TTS going on right I am trying to find something better.

Just noticed this feature request. I'm a heavy audiobookshelf user. Yes, many books I love to read don't have audio version. So I made this simple tool https://github.com/p0n1/epub_to_audiobook to convert epub books into audiobooks. It works great for me. I have consumed many books using this tool together with the great audiobookshelf.

I just supported OpenAI TTS which is unbelievable awesome. Not sure if it's a good idea to integrate the TTS features into audiobookshelf itself because we can convert outside and import easily.
