Convert PDF to Audiobook using Python
To convert a PDF to an audiobook you need to install some Python packages;Â pyttsx3, PyPDF2Â &Â pdfplumber. All these packages can be easily installed by using the pip command; pip install <package name>.

After installing the above packages let’s import them and get started with the task:
import pyttsx3 import pdfplumber import PyPDF2
The first step is to give the location and name of the pdf file that we can to convert to an audiobook:
file = 'C:/Users/<user_name>/Desktop/Book.pdf'
The second step is to get the number of pages present in the PDF file:
#Creating a PDF File Object pdfFileObj = open(file, 'rb') # creating a pdf reader object pdfReader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(pdfFileObj) #Get the number of pages pages = pdfReader.numPages
Now we need to loop through the number of pages in the audiobook and then convert them into audiobooks by using text to speech:
with pdfplumber.open(file) as pdf: #Loop through the number of pages for i in range(0, pages): page = pdf.pages[i] text = page.extract_text() print(text) speaker = pyttsx3.init() speaker.say(text) speaker.runAndWait()
Here is the full code:
