From the menu you can: -- **Convert books…** — pick a ready/running backend, then set everything on one screen: model, voice (or speaker / clone .wav for qwen), instructions, output format, speed, whether to combine all chapters into one file, and debug mode (for a backend set up here it reads its `server.json` / `voices.json`; with only a running external server it queries the server itself instead — audio.cpp lists its models and voices over HTTP, faster asks you to type a voice name).
