AI-Powered Audiobook Generation System

Sophisticated distributed processing system with LLM integration for multi-format audiobook generation

AI-Powered Audiobook Generation System Interface

About This Project

The AI-Powered Audiobook Generation System is a production-ready distributed processing platform that transforms multi-format documents into professional audiobooks using advanced LLM integration. With enterprise architecture featuring deterministic segmentation, rule-based attribution, and distributed scaling capabilities, it processes ~15 seconds per document with <300ms per chunk performance.

This system features a sophisticated 8,933-line codebase with distributed processing using Apache Kafka, Spark, and Redis, supporting both local (Ollama) and cloud-based LLM engines. The architecture includes Docker containerization, comprehensive monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, and a complete testing suite for production deployment.

Built with enterprise patterns including dependency injection, distributed pipeline orchestration, and professional code organization, this system demonstrates advanced AI/ML integration with natural language processing, character profiling, and intelligent content filtering for accessibility and educational applications.

Key Features

  • AI-powered LLM integration with local (Ollama) and cloud (GCP Vertex AI) engines
  • Distributed processing architecture with Apache Kafka, Spark, and Redis
  • Deterministic segmentation and rule-based attribution reducing LLM API calls by 50%+
  • Multi-format support (PDF, DOCX, EPUB, MOBI, TXT, MD) with intelligent content filtering
  • Enterprise monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and comprehensive health checks
  • Docker containerization with production-ready deployment and scaling
  • Advanced text structuring with contextual refinement and quality validation
  • Professional code organization with dependency injection and testing infrastructure

Technical Challenges

The primary challenge was architecting a distributed processing system that could handle enterprise-scale document processing while maintaining text integrity and preventing corruption. This required developing a deterministic-first approach with rule-based attribution, sophisticated LLM orchestration, and horizontal scaling patterns using Apache Kafka and Spark.

Additional challenges included building a robust monitoring and observability infrastructure, implementing comprehensive testing across distributed components, and designing a professional code organization pattern that could support multiple deployment environments while maintaining performance benchmarks of ~15 seconds per document processing.
