Update 2: I went to look at the code and although I have never done anything with Go I was pleased with how easy it is to read plus your code was pretty well structured.

I realized the removal of diacritics was happening at the function RemoveDiacritics inside lib/textProcessing.go on line 26 and modified the definition(?) to not modify special characters, compiled again and voila! It worked great.

After that I used Calibre to convert a couple .pdfs to .txt and with a pretty simple python script got rid of page footnotes/headers/page_numbers and I just ended up with pretty decent Audiobooks.

Thanks again for the great tool!
