Turn a PDF into concise, engaging audio in minutes

Too busy to read through long, text-heavy PDF docs? Our AI lets you upload your PDF, choose an AI presenter or voice, and generate a script summarizing key points. Create concise audio you can play on your earphones on your way to work. Or make shareable content for your team or online audience.

The AI tool generates videos by default, but you can focus on editing just the audio. Add music or sound effects to make it more engaging. Then, export your project as an MP3 file for audio-only content. Need a quick PDF voice reader? Copy text directly from your doc and paste it into our text-to-voice generator.

How to turn your PDF into audio content:

FAQ

  • We currently don’t offer direct PDF-to-audio conversion, e.g. uploading a file and converting the text into speech. But our AI PDF-to-video tool provides a more comprehensive solution. Transform your PDF into summaries for an AI voice or presenter to read aloud. You can export the project as an audio-only file for listening on the go.

  • Use VEED's PDF-to-video converter, and export it as MP3 for audio-only content. Upload your file, and our AI will generate a script and video summarizing key points. Choose an AI voice and content focus. You can further refine your content using our editor.

  • Most PDFs allow you to select and copy the text, which you can input into our text-to-speech tool. However, you cannot copy text from scanned PDFs with images of text rather than selectable text. You’ll need to convert that PDF to a Word doc using an online converter. Or use an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software.

  • Some highly specialized or unique terms may not be in an AI system’s vocabulary, leading to incorrect pronunciations. In such cases, try spelling a word phonetically in the generated script to guide the AI text-to-speech generator.
