 ### Windows
 Go to [espeak-ng latest release](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/releases/latest) download and run the *.msi file.
-```bash
-# For NVIDIA GPUs:
-pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
 
-# Install abogen
+#### OPTION 1: Install using script
-pip install abogen
-```
-Alternatively, for an easier setup on Windows:
 1. [Download](https://github.com/denizsafak/abogen/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) the repository
 2. Extract the ZIP file
 3. Run `WINDOWS_INSTALL.bat` by double-clicking it
 
 This method handles everything automatically - installing all dependencies including CUDA in a self-contained environment without requiring a separate Python installation. (You still need to install [espeak-ng](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/releases/latest).)
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> You don't need to install Python separately. The script will install Python automatically.
+
+#### OPTION 2: Install using pip
+```bash
+# Create a virtual environment (optional)
+mkdir abogen && cd abogen
+python -m venv venv
+venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# For NVIDIA GPUs:
+pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
+
+# For AMD GPUs:
+# Not supported yet, because ROCm is not available on Windows. Use Linux if you have AMD GPU.
+
+# Install abogen
+pip install abogen
+```
+
 ### Mac
 ```bash
 # Install espeak-ng
 brew install espeak-ng
 
+# Create a virtual environment (recommended)

+## `How to run?`
+If you installed using pip, you can simply run the following command to start Abogen:
 
 ```bash
 abogen
 ```
+> [!TIP]
+> If you installed using the Windows installer `(WINDOWS_INSTALL.bat)`, It should have created a shortcut in the same folder, or your desktop. You can run it from there. If you lost the shortcut, Abogen is located in `python_embedded/Scripts/abogen.exe`. You can run it from there directly.
 
 ## `How to use?`
 1) Drag and drop any ePub, PDF, or text file (or use the built-in text editor)
 2) Configure the settings:
     - Set speech speed
-    - Select a voice

+## `Voice Mixer`
+<img title="Abogen Voice Mixer" src='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denizsafak/abogen/refs/heads/main/demo/voice_mixer.png'>
+
+With voice mixer, you can create custom voices by mixing different voice models. You can adjust the weight of each voice and save your custom voice as a profile for future use. The voice mixer allows you to create unique and personalized voices. (Huge thanks to [@jborza](https://github.com/jborza) for making this possible through his contributions in [#5](https://github.com/denizsafak/abogen/pull/5))
+
+## `Queue Mode`
+<img title="Abogen queue mode" src='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denizsafak/abogen/refs/heads/main/demo/queue.png'>
+
+Abogen supports **queue mode**, allowing you to add multiple files to a processing queue. This is useful if you want to convert several files in one batch.
+
+- You can add text files (`.txt`) directly using the **Add files** button in the Queue Manager. To add PDF or EPUB files, use the input box in the main window and click the **Add to Queue** button.
+- Each file in the queue keeps the configuration settings that were active when it was added. Changing the main window configuration afterward does **not** affect files already in the queue.
+- You can view each file's configuration by hovering over them.
+
+Abogen will process each item in the queue automatically, saving outputs as configured.
+> Special thanks to [@jborza](https://github.com/jborza) for adding queue mode in PR [#35](https://github.com/denizsafak/abogen/pull/35)
+
+## `About Chapter Markers`
+When you process ePUB or PDF files, Abogen converts them into text files stored in your cache directory. When you click "Edit," you're actually modifying these converted text files. In these text files, you'll notice tags that look like this:
+
+```
+<<CHAPTER_MARKER:Chapter Title>>
+```
+These are chapter markers. They are automatically added when you process ePUB or PDF files, based on the chapters you select. They serve an important purpose:
+-  Allow you to split the text into separate audio files for each chapter
+-  Save time by letting you reprocess only specific chapters if errors occur, rather than the entire file
+
+You can manually add these markers to plain text files for the same benefits. Simply include them in your text like this:
+
+```
+<<CHAPTER_MARKER:Introduction>>
+This is the beginning of my text...  
+
+<<CHAPTER_MARKER:Main Content>> 
+Here's another part...  
+```
+When you process the text file, Abogen will detect these markers automatically and ask if you want to save each chapter separately and create a merged version.
+
+![Abogen Chapter Marker](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denizsafak/abogen/refs/heads/main/demo/chapter_marker.png)
+
+## `About Metadata Tags`
+Similar to chapter markers, it is possible to add metadata tags for `M4B` files. This is useful for audiobook players that support metadata, allowing you to add information like title, author, year, etc. Abogen automatically adds these tags when you process ePUB or PDF files, but you can also add them manually to your text files. Add metadata tags **at the beginning of your text file** like this:
+```
+<<METADATA_TITLE:Title>>
+<<METADATA_ARTIST:Author>>
+<<METADATA_ALBUM:Album Title>>
+<<METADATA_YEAR:Year>>
+<<METADATA_ALBUM_ARTIST:Album Artist>>
+<<METADATA_COMPOSER:Narrator>>
+<<METADATA_GENRE:Audiobook>>
+```

 ## `MPV Config`
 I highly recommend using [MPV](https://mpv.io/installation/) to play your audio files, as it supports displaying subtitles even without a video track. Here's my `mpv.conf`:
 ```

+## `Docker Guide`
+If you want to run Abogen in a Docker container:
+1) [Download the repository](https://github.com/denizsafak/abogen/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) and extract, or clone it using git.
+2) Go to `abogen` folder. You should see `Dockerfile` there.
+3) Open your termminal in that directory and run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+# Build the Docker image:
+docker build --progress plain -t abogen .
+
+# Note that building the image may take a while.
+# After building is complete, run the Docker container:
+
+# Windows
+docker run --name abogen -v %cd%:/shared -p 5800:5800 -p 5900:5900 --gpus all abogen
+
+# Linux
+docker run --name abogen -v $(pwd):/shared -p 5800:5800 -p 5900:5900 --gpus all abogen
+
+# MacOS
+docker run --name abogen -v $(pwd):/shared -p 5800:5800 -p 5900:5900 abogen
+
+# We expose port 5800 for use by a web browser, 5900 if you want to connect with a VNC client.
+```
+
+Abogen launches automatically inside the container. 
+- You can access it via a web browser at [http://localhost:5800](http://localhost:5800) or connect to it using a VNC client at `localhost:5900`.
+- You can use `/shared` directory to share files between your host and the container.
+- For later use, start it with `docker start abogen` and stop it with `docker stop abogen`.
+
+Known issues:
+- Audio preview is not working inside container (ALSA error).
+- `Open cache directory` and `Open configuration directory` options in settings not working. (Tried pcmanfm, did not work with Abogen).
+
+(Special thanks to [@geo38](https://www.reddit.com/user/geo38/) from Reddit, who provided the Dockerfile and instructions in [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1k8x1yo/comment/mpe0bz8/).)
