# PDF to Audio Converter

This Gradio app converts PDFs into audio podcasts, lectures, summaries, and more. It uses OpenAI's GPT models for text generation and text-to-speech conversion.

## Features

- Upload multiple PDF files
- Choose from different instruction templates (podcast, lecture, summary, etc.)
- Customize text generation and audio models
- Select different voices for speakers

## How to Use

1. Upload one or more PDF files
2. Select the desired instruction template
3. Customize the instructions if needed
4. Click "Generate Audio" to create your audio content

## Example

<audio controls>
  <source src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lamm-mit/PDF2Audio/main/SciAgents%20discovery%20summary%20-%20example.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
  Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

## Note

This app requires an OpenAI API key to function.
