>>18106On linux you can use ebook-speaker that does skip some of that stuff . It's a command line tool to help visually impaired people. It doesn't have an inbuilt TTS so you have to install one beforehand, like for example espeak or festival.
You can also use pdftotext to turn pdfs into regular text files and then use the utilities sed and awk to remove all the crap you don't want the TTS to read aloud. It's easy to put sed and awk commands into a bash script, so that once you have exactly how you want it, you can apply it to other files.

>>18107i use festival already to generate ebooks. sounds like what i need is sed and awk

>>18107i looked into sed/awk tutorials
I found it easier to just convert PDF to text and then brute force through all the stuff with just find/replace using regular expressions in notepad++
I've already made a couple of audiobooks this way and listened to 1 of them
