Create your own Audiobook using python| Ebook| PDF reader using python| python for beginner

 Hello reader's

In this post you are going to see that "How you can create your own audiobook or Ebook" or simply a pdf reader using python. For doing this you must have basic knowledge of python. 

First of all install python on your laptop or desktop or what ever machine you are using, to download python click here.

If you don't know how to install python then you can checkout my other post's in which i have explained how to install python and any IDE which supports python. After the successful installation of python install a IDE which supports python or you can use Python's IDE too. 

There is also a different IDE's which support's python, like - VS Code, Pycharm are well known for python development. 

After the successful installation of python and it's supportive IDE lets get into the code , now you have to install some modules to run the code, Modules are nothing but some files with the “. py” extension containing Python code that can be imported inside another Python Program. In simple terms, we can consider a module to be the same as a code library or a file that contains a set of functions that you want to include in your application. 

now lets install the modules, Open your command prompt and type "pip install pyttsx3" pyttsx3 is a is a text-to-speech conversion library in Python. Unlike alternative libraries, it works offline, and is compatible with both Python 2 and 3. 

installing pyttsx3 using pip in cmd

As you can see in the above picture, i have already installed that's why it is showing me that requirement already satisfied but in your case it will install. 

After the successful installation of pyttsx3 , you have to install one more module named PyPDF2. To install PyPDF2 type "pip install pypdf2" in command prompt. 

installing Pypdf2 using pip in cmd

After the successful installation of code , let's start with code , Open your favourite IDE and type code .

First import all the two modules which you have installed using pip command. so type "import pyttsx3 import PyPDF2"  this lines going to import import the modules. 

now type , "book = open('Filename.pdf', 'rb')"  This line going to fetch the pdf file which you have stored at some location in storage. 

"pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(book)" This line is going to initialize the PyPDF2 module. 

If you want to know that how many pages are there in that perticular file the type "pages = pdfReader.numPages" This line of code is going to tell you that how many number of pages are there in that pdf file. 

Now you have initialize the speaker to speak up or to read the pdf , for initializing the speaker type "speaker = pyttsx3.init()" . 

"for num in range(1, pages):

    page = pdfReader.getPage(num)"  This two lines of code is going tell you that there are how many number of pages are there in pdf. 

"text = page.extractText()

    speaker.say(text)"

 This two lines of code is going to extract text from pdf, mainly these two lines of code are going to read out the pdf. 

   " speaker.runAndWait()"  This function will make the speech audible in the system, if you don't write this command then the speech will not be audible to you.

I hope you have understand the that how to make your own pdf reader or audiobook using python, please give your valuable feedback in the comment section. Your feedback's are valuable to use this help's us to improve.

pages = pdfReader.numPages

speaker = pyttsx3.init()

for num in range(1, pages):

    page = pdfReader.getPage(num)

    text = page.extractText()

    speaker.say(text)

    speaker.runAndWait()
