Converting EPUB to a podcast locally involves running a standalone Node.js pipeline that processes books into two-host scripts, segmented audio, Smart Slides, and final MP4 video without external services. All deliverables are saved to a local directory.

Yes, you can generate two-host scripts and segmented audio from EPUB content offline. The local pipeline processes the text into Chinese podcast scripts and synthesizes segmented audio without needing remote APIs or cloud dependencies.

No, the EPUB to MP4 video pipeline runs entirely locally using Node.js and has zero external dependencies. It operates completely offline to ensure privacy and deliver scripts, audio, slides, and video to your local environment.

The best way to create Smart Slides from EPUB books is using a standalone local pipeline that extracts content and generates slide images alongside audio. This process runs offline, yielding slides and final MP4 video files without uploading your data.

To set up the environment, clone the repository, install Node.js dependencies, and configure local environment variables. Once configured, run the main workflow to process your EPUB file into scripts, audio, slides, and video locally.

You should use a local offline workflow for EPUB to podcast conversion to protect data privacy and increase iteration speed. Running the pipeline entirely on your machine prevents sensitive book content from being sent to remote services.
