Install using pypi

The audiobook is a python module for listening to your favourite PDF (and not only) book.

Basic usage is exposed via CLI, type python audiobook -h for help.

More advanced features are exposed via the API:

from audiobook import AudioBook
# argument: Speech-Speed="slow/normal/fast", volume = 0.0 to 1.0
ab = AudioBook(speed="normal", volume=1.0) 

# if file is password protected, pass password as argument
# save_page_wise audio/whole book in one mp3 file
ab.save_audio(self, input_book_path, password=None, save_page_wise=False): 

- input_book_path: path to pdf file
- password: password to pdf file
- save_page_wise: if True, saves each page as a separate mp3 file
- extraction_engine: "pypdf2/pdfminor" for extracting text from pdf file

ab.read_book(file_path) # listen to the book
ab.create_json_book(file_path) # create json file of the book

ab.get_library() # get all the books in your library

Run tests:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m unittest tests
