Turn an FB2 ebook into an audiobook

FictionBook is the format of choice for Russian and Eastern European ebooks. Drop a .fb2 and hear it read by a narrator in the book’s language.

Clean sections, clean chapters

FB2 is tidy XML with explicit sections and titles, so the chapters come out right. Title and author come from the book’s own description.
The language is detected, and native narrators for it come first, along with multilingual voices that read it too.
