Designing an Audiobook using Python
In this tutorial, we will learn how to Design an Audiobook using Python. In this project, we have used Python libraries( Pyttsx3 and PyPDF2) and used them to create an audiobook and saved the audio for later use.
Let’s Import some Libraries that we have to use here.
import Pyttsx3 import PyPDF2
library Pyttsx3 for text to speech and PyPDF2 for the pdf to text
Now put a PDF in our directory so we can open our PDF in Python.
Book = open('Stock.pdf', 'rb') pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(Book) pages = pdfReader.numPages # print(pages) to chcek number of pages
Now let’s move on to the next step
Defining Engine so that our Speak function will use the voice we have in our system
speaker = pyttsx3.init() for num in range(0, pages): page = pdfReader.getPage(num) # if we want to listen a specific page then insert the page number here text = page.extractText() # print(text) to check if out pdf is ohk & our ertract text is actually extracting text speaker.say(text) # to listen to text now speaker.runandwait()
and if you want to change the audio form male to female or vice-versa( use the code below if you need so)
#voices = speaker.getProperty('voices') # getting details of current voice #speaker.setProperty('voice', voices[0].id) # changing index, changes voices. 0 for male #speaker.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id) # changing index, changes voices. 1 for female
Now to save our Audiobook
we have saved the Audio in our directory as Audiobook we can listen to this in any media player I did try this in VLC it worked fine for me.
