PDF to Podcast

Overview

This project provides a tool to convert any PDF document into a podcast episode! Using Google's Gemini for dialogue generation and OpenAI's text-to-speech models, this tool processes the content of a PDF, generates a natural dialogue suitable for an audio podcast, and outputs it as an MP3 file.

Features

• Convert PDF to Podcast: Upload a PDF and convert its content into a podcast dialogue.
• AI-Powered Dialogue: Uses Google's Gemini LLM to create engaging, natural conversations.
• High-Quality Audio: Leverages OpenAI's text-to-speech for lifelike voices.
• User-friendly Interface: Simple interface using Gradio for easy interaction.
