PDF TO AUDIOBOOK CONVERTER

This is a simple package that helps you in creating audiobooks (in the form of .mp3) from a pdf file.

The import statement

Use this import statement to import all the functions of the library:

from pdftoAudiobook import *

Function use example: pdftoAudiobook.pdf_to_audiobook(pdfFileName)

PDF TO AUDIOBOOK converter functions

There are two functions in this package:

pdf_to_audiobook: This function parses through the entire pdf document, converts it into speech and creates a single .mp3 file. This function takes one string argument, the path of the pdf file that is to be converted.

pdf_to_audiobook_per_page: This function parses through the entire pdf document and creates a one .mp3 file per page. This function also takes one string argument, the path of the pdf file that is to be converted.

Future scopes

1. Create a function that parses through a text file and converts that into an audiobook
2. Provide another alternatives for converting text-to-speech. Currently, it uses gTTS library for this purpose.

Limitations

1. Since gTTS library is used for text-to-speech conversion, it requires internet connection while running the scripts
2. The pdf file is converted to speech as-is, no modifications are made to the original format. Due to this, improperly formatted file may give bad output. However with a standard text format, this will work properly.
3. Since API is used to convert the text to speech, it takes a long time to convert if the number of pages is more
