AudioTextSync To Ren’Py

Turn any of your SubPlz subtitle files + audio + epub combo into a visual novel, thanks to Ren’Py, with all advantages that come with it like (not exhaustive or exclusive to VNs):

• Saving!
• Loading!!!
• Play the audiobook at your own pace
• Replaying line audio
• Rollback/Skipping text
• Furigana
• Background / Text styling
• No overwhelmingly long paragraphs (inspired by readwok on that one)
• Free shot of dopamine every time you click to the next line, keeping your tiktok-corroded brain active and focused on the book
• Clipboard Sync by design, no need to bother with textractor
• Share save accross computers?
• Images integration from the epub file (experimental !!)

Note that many of these things can be achieved with mpv+extensions+shortcuts if you prefer that way.

Status

Thanks to the improvements in the newer versions of SubPlz, this is essentially close to a complete release now, some things are left to more experimentation (like inserting images from epub), but aside from that results are now very accurate.

Building

Assuming rust installed. If not, install it via Rustup, then:

Make sure you have GTK installed as well.
