+# 1.2.3
+- Same as 1.2.2, re-released to fix an issue with subtitle timing when using timestamp-based text files.
+
+# 1.2.2
+- **You can now voice your subtitle files!** Simply add `.srt`, `.ass` or `.vtt` files to generate timed audio. Alternatively, add a text file with timestamps in `HH:MM:SS` or `HH:MM:SS,ms` format to generate audio that matches the timestamps. See [here](https://github.com/denizsafak/abogen?tab=readme-ov-file#about-timestamp-based-text-files) for detailed instructions.
+    - New option: **"Use silent gaps between subtitles"**: Prevents unnecessary audio speed-up by letting speech continue into the silent gaps between subtitles.
+    - New option: **"Subtitle speed adjustment method"**: Choose how to speed up audio when needed:
+        - **TTS Regeneration (better quality):** Re-generates the audio at a faster speed for more natural sound.
+        - **FFmpeg Time-stretch (better speed):** Quickly speeds up the generated audio.
+- Added support for embedding cover images in M4B files. Abogen now automatically extracts cover images from EPUB and PDF files. You can also manually specify a cover image using the `<<METADATA_COVER_PATH:path>>` tag in your text file. (To prevent MPV from showing the cover image, you can add `audio-display=no` to your MPV config file.)

+
 ### 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
-pip install abogen
-```
-Alternatively, for an easier setup on Windows:
+#### OPTION 1: Install using script
 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:
+# We need to use an older version of PyTorch (2.8.0) until this issue is fixed: https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/166628
+pip install torch==2.8.0+cu128 torchvision==0.23.0+cu128 torchaudio==2.8.0 --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)
+mkdir abogen && cd abogen
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+
 # Install abogen
-pip install abogen # (I have not tested it)
+pip3 install abogen
+
+# For Silicon Mac (M1, M2 etc.)
+# After installing abogen, we need to install Kokoro's development version which includes MPS support.
+pip3 install git+https://github.com/hexgrad/kokoro.git
 ```
 ### Linux
 ```bash
 # Install espeak-ng
+sudo apt install espeak-ng # Ubuntu/Debian
+sudo pacman -S espeak-ng # Arch Linux
+sudo dnf install espeak-ng # Fedora

-# Ubuntu/Debian
-sudo apt install espeak-ng
-# Arch Linux
-sudo pacman -S espeak-ng
-# Fedora
-sudo dnf install espeak-ng
+# Create a virtual environment (recommended)
+mkdir abogen && cd abogen
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate

 # Install abogen
-pip install abogen
-```
-> If you get "No matching distribution found" error, try installing it on supported Python (3.10 to 3.12). You can use [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) to manage multiple Python versions easily in Linux. Watch this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVyb-nI4KyI) by NetworkChuck for a quick guide.
+pip3 install abogen

-Then simply run by typing:
+# For NVIDIA GPUs:
+# Already supported, no need to install CUDA separately.
+
+# For AMD GPUs:
+# After installing abogen, we need to uninstall the existing torch package
+pip3 uninstall torch 
+pip3 install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/rocm6.4
+```

+
+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, EPUB, or markdown 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.

+## `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, PDF or markdown 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>>
+<<METADATA_COVER_PATH:path/to/cover.jpg>>
+```
+> Note: `METADATA_COVER_PATH` is used to embed a cover image into the generated M4B file. Abogen automatically extracts the cover from EPUB and PDF files and adds this tag for you.
+
+## `About Timestamp-based Text Files`
+Similar to converting subtitle files to audio, Abogen can automatically detect text files that contain timestamps in `HH:MM:SS` or `HH:MM:SS,ms` format. When timestamps are found inside your text file, Abogen will ask if you want to use them for audio timing. This is useful for creating timed narrations, scripts, or transcripts where you need exact control over when each segment is spoken.
+
+Format your text file like this:
+```
+00:00:00
+This is the first segment of text.
+
+00:00:15
+This is the second segment, starting at 15 seconds.
+
+00:00:45
+And this is the third segment, starting at 45 seconds.
+```
+
+**Important notes:**
+- Timestamps must be in `HH:MM:SS` or `HH:MM:SS,ms` format (e.g., `00:05:30` for 5 minutes 30 seconds, or `00:05:30,500` for 5 minutes 30.5 seconds)
+- Milliseconds are optional and provide precision up to 1/1000th of a second
+- Text before the first timestamp (if any) will automatically start at `00:00:00`
+- When using timestamps, the subtitle generation mode setting is ignored

+
+> The name **"abogen"** comes from a shortened form of **"audiobook generator"**, which is the purpose of this project.  
+>
+> After releasing the project, I learned from [community feedback](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44853064#44857237) that the prefix *"abo"* can unfortunately be understood as an ethnic slur in certain regions (particularly Australia and New Zealand). This was something I was not aware of when naming the project, as English is not my first language.  
+>
+> I want to make it clear that the name was chosen only for its technical meaning, with **no offensive intent**. I’m grateful to those who kindly pointed this out, as it helps ensure the project remains respectful and welcoming to everyone.

+
+> This message means PyTorch could not use your GPU and has fallen back to the CPU. On Windows, Abogen only supports NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA. AMD GPUs are not supported on Windows (they are only supported on Linux with ROCm). Abogen will still work on the CPU, but processing will be slower compared to a supported GPU.
+>
+> If you have a compatible NVIDIA GPU on Windows and still see this warning:
+> Open your terminal in the Abogen folder (the folder that contains `python_embedded`) and type:
+> ```bash

+> ```
+>
+> If this does not resolve the issue and you are using an older NVIDIA GPU that does not support CUDA 12.8, you can try installing an older version of PyTorch that supports your GPU. For example, for CUDA 12.6, run:
+> ```bash
+> python_embedded\python.exe -m pip install --force-reinstall torch==2.8.0+cu126 torchvision==0.23.0+cu126 torchaudio==2.8.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126
+> ```
+> 
+> If you have an AMD GPU, you need to use Linux and follow the Linux/ROCm [instructions](#linux). If you want to keep running on CPU, no action is required, but performance will just be reduced. See [#32](https://github.com/denizsafak/abogen/issues/32) for more details.
