Acumane/lectern
Listen to PDFs with natural TTS and read-along text prompts
This tool helps you listen to PDF documents with natural-sounding voices, similar to a high-quality audiobook, while also seeing the text highlighted as it's read. You provide a PDF file and specify the pages, and it outputs audio files along with on-screen text prompts. It's designed for anyone who prefers to consume lengthy documents by listening, like students, researchers, or busy professionals.

Use this if you need to listen to academic papers, reports, or other long-form PDFs and desire a natural-sounding voice with read-along text.
Not ideal if you need a fully polished, commercial-grade text-to-speech solution without any potential bugs or require extensive customization beyond voice and speed.
