I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

pdf2speech

Don't miss learning opportunities. Life is too short.

pdf2speech converts PDF to mp3 audio with text-to-speech engine. It allows you to read PDF books while you are walking.

Status

Currently I am testing to convert O'reilly books to audio. example.js successfully converted "Database Reliability Engineering" book. I guess formats of the animal books of O'reilly are generally same so it works for the other books as well.

Requirements

pdf2speech currently supports AWS Polly only as text-to-speech engine. Be sure to set up AWS credentials correctly.

pdf2speech uses Node.js and ES2016 syntax. Install Node.js with proper version.

How to run examples

clone pdf2speech.

git clone [email protected]:TanUkkii007/pdf2speech.git

install dependencies

npm install

Run example with a PDF file path argument.

node example.js path/to/pdf

This command generates several mp3 files. To concatenate these files, run cat command.

cat out-*.mp3 > combined.mp3

ToDo

I think pdf2speech cannot be a general CLI tool. There are tons of different format of PDFs so programming is needed. Instead of provide general CLI, examples for specific books can be helpful.
publish pdf-to-audio conversion process streams as library
API refinement
CMAP support
