open-whispersync

Self-hosted position sync between Kobo ebooks and Audiobookshelf audiobooks using forced audio alignment.

Pluginfree

open-whispersync is a self-hosted position-sync tool between a Kobo e-reader (through Calibre-Web) and an Audiobookshelf audiobook. It uses forced audio-text alignment so a Kobo's native sync button jumps the ebook to the exact paragraph the narrator reached, for readers who alternate between reading and listening to the same book.
