Text2Audio-Subtitles

This project converts PDF files into audiobooks with synchronized subtitles in .vtt format. It uses FastAPI for the backend and Microsoft's Edge TTS for text-to-speech conversion.

Features

• Extracts text from PDF files.
• Converts extracted text into high-quality audio files (.mp3).
• Generates subtitle files (.vtt) for the audio to provide synchronized captions.
• Supports asynchronous processing for efficient and fast performance.
• Automatically cleans up temporary files after processing.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-repo/Text2Audio-Subtitles.git
   cd Text2Audio-Subtitles

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r .\requirements.txt

Usage

1. Start the FastAPI server:

   python app.py

2. Open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs to access the Swagger UI.

3. Use the /convert_to_audiobook/ endpoint to upload a PDF file. The server will process the file and generate the audiobook (.mp3) and subtitle (.vtt) files.

Output

• The generated .mp3 and .vtt files will be saved in the audiobooks directory.
• Temporary files (e.g., uploaded PDFs) will be automatically deleted after processing.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Dependencies listed in requirements.txt
