    Hi HN! I'm stoked to share a project I've been working on called PDF to Podcast. It's a free, open-source tool that automatically converts PDF documents into engaging, informative podcast-style audio content using large language models and text-to-speech tech. Inspiration: The idea for this project came from the NotebookLM demo at Google I/O, where they showcased generating audio dialogue from uploaded PDFs and other sources. However, that audio feature hasn't been publicly released yet, and I wanted to challenge myself to build something similar using existing tools and APIs. How it…

    Hi HN, I made a simple web tool called SonicFlow (https://voice.clevermock.com) for converting text to an MP3. I've used other TTS tools, but was looking for something with zero friction - no sign-up, no feature-gating, no complicated SSML tags to learn. Just a text box and a download button. So I built it. It's a clean front-end that pipes text to a TTS model and serves the audio file directly. Useful for quickly listening to articles, comments, or maybe generating placeholder audio for a project. It's free. Hope it's useful. Feedback is welcome.
