Its about the whole pipeline. From adding a PDF to listening in the car (with the app).

It handles the formatting of scientific papers very well. E.g. I can exclude footnotes etc. But I didn't test it much with tables yet.

Here you can listen to examples: https://pdftomp3.com/examples/

Via MCP more voices are available (all OpenAI and Gemini voices, depending on which api key you use).

I did both of that too! At the end I made my own app to listen to the episodes.

Thanks! Currently, I'm using Gemini TTS and Kokoro TTS as a free option. Kokoro is fast and I can run it on my own server, but I'm not using it as a standard yet because Gemini supports more languages and has more voices available. But text-to-speech processing is the biggest bottleneck at the moment.

There are two parts to the processing. The processing of the document itself is done on your OpenAI/Codex subscription. Additionally, you have to submit an API key for the text-to-speech processing. There you can use a Gemini key or an OpenAI key.
