## What is PDF2Audio?

Turn any PDF into audio you'll actually listen to.

PDF2Audio uses AI to transform research papers, articles, ebooks, and reports into engaging podcasts, focused lectures, or quick summaries — read aloud by studio-quality voices in your preferred language.

  WHY PDF2AUDIO

  • Pick your style. Two-host podcast dialogue, single-speaker lecture, concise summary, deep research analysis, faithful read-through, and more.
  • 13 AI voices. Mix and match — Alloy, Nova, Onyx, Coral, Sage, Shimmer, and more. Preview each voice before you choose.
  • 18 languages. Generate audio in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Turkish, and more.
