Listen to your PDFs in any language

Hey, I built this tool last year to listen to machine learning books and papers. Since there were still some users this year, I updated it! I’m curious what you’d use it for and whether you find the AI explanations useful!

This is cool. The text to speech is OK - it's a bit squeaky, yet super low pitch. Definitely not bad, but it could be improved. The intonation is good. Maybe just let people switch voices? I generally find female voices are better executed with TTS.
