Listen to a PDF

Extract text from a PDF and turn it into an MP3 or WAV you can listen to on a commute or while doing something else. Works on text-based PDFs, if you can't highlight text, run OCR first.

How it works here

Text is pulled from the PDF on our server and passed to an offline text-to-speech engine, no Google/Amazon cloud voice API. Your document content stays on our infrastructure and both the PDF and audio file are deleted within an hour.

Output is MP3 (smaller, works everywhere) or WAV (higher quality, bigger file). Pick the language that matches the document text.

Limits worth knowing

  • Only the first ~5,000 characters are converted per run, long reports need splitting first
  • Scanned PDFs need OCR before they'll produce speech
  • Voice quality depends on the system TTS engine; it's listenable, not audiobook-narrator polished
  • Tables, footnotes, and weird layouts may read in a odd order, fine for skimming, not for legal proofreading by ear

Frequently Asked Questions

Offline TTS quality depends on your system's installed voices. The quality varies based on the voices available on your system. Most modern systems have clear and understandable voices that work well for text-to-speech conversion.

Scanned PDFs (image-based) need to be processed with OCR first to extract text. Once text is extracted using our OCR tool, you can convert the resulting text-based PDF to voice. Text-based PDFs work directly without OCR.

Offline TTS uses your system's built-in text-to-speech voices. It works completely offline without any internet connection, ensuring complete privacy. The quality depends on the voices installed on your system, which are typically clear and understandable for most use cases.

Conversion time depends on text length. Offline TTS typically processes 5000 characters in 5-15 seconds. Very large PDFs may take longer, which is why we process the first 5000 characters for optimal performance. Processing speed depends on your system's performance.
