// My Story
I am currently a software developer who once modeled and thought I wanted to pursue a career in the fashion industry. While I was modeling in Hong Kong, I eventually felt the desire to further my education. I decided to depart the modeling world and move back to Canada, knowing that could be the end of my modeling opportunities. I attended Ryerson University for GCM (Graphic Communications Management), as I thought I might still work in the fashion industry in another capacity. It was in my last year of university, I was introduced to a very basic coding course. I instantly fell in love. From there I knew I wanted to pursue software development but didn't have a clue where to start. I didn't want to go back to university as I just completed a four-year degree. I decided to enroll in a 10-week intensive coding Bootcamp. From there I started working at a small startup learning and growing my technical and soft skills. I then transitioned to a larger company where I am a software developer and technical consultant today.

    So, a really helpful function here would be the os walk function. It'll recursively iterate through every file in a directory. From there, in your loop you could check the file extension and remove based on that or any other condition. From there, you could use the argparse package and take arguments from the cli to ask the user things like what files they want to remove or the file extensions they want to remove. Then after that, you could think about putting everything in functions so as to not pollute the global namespace and use the standard "if __name__ == '__main__'" pattern. Lots of different, cool things you can do here, a great beginner project!

    I read webnovels and few years ago before Tencent saw the huge western market there were a bunch of different websites for each novel, they were translated into english. So keeping track of them became a bit tiring and if I used a webpage if it was down, well RIP. So I taught myself javascript and made a chrome extension that I can use on my PC and Tablet, using firebase to store my novels database. I love stats so keeping track of what I read, how many words, chapters etc. was fun and useful. Some novels have character names that I don't like or use censorship on words, replacing them is easy, saving it for each novel individually and so on. Using it daily. Another project of mine is a tool to add some data into my spreadsheet, I made a project that does a lot of calculations for me and adds it to the Google spreadsheet. ofc there are others, but those too are my most used and useful ones.

    Great video!!! I would like to suggest a correction at 05:03 :- text = pdfreader.getPage(page_num).extractText() actually works for PDFs that have a single page. But if a PDF has multiple pages, then the text gets overwritten with the contents of the new page. So, to avoid that we can append the new page's content to the current text and then format the text into clean_text after the end of the loop

    Thank you for the 2 inspiring projects. When trying the first one, I had to spend quite a lot of time debugging, possibly due to the fact that the used modules have been updated since the video has been made and a number of functions had been renamed (even ChatGPT is not updated regarding PyPDF2 3.0.0 !). If you wish to save your time, here is the updated code, with a little correction to the loop: import pyttsx3, PyPDF2 title = input("Which book would you like to listen to? ") + ".pdf" pdfreader = PyPDF2.PdfReader(open(title, 'rb')) speaker = pyttsx3.init() first_page = input("Starting with what page? ") last_page = input("Ending with what page? ") text = "" for page_number in range(int(first_page - 1), int(last_page)): text = text + pdfreader.pages[page_number].extract_text() clean_text = text.strip().replace(' ', ' ') print(clean_text) speaker.save_to_file(clean_text, 'result2.mp3') speaker.runAndWait speaker.stop() Now this version correctly prints out the converted text, but fails to create the mp3 file, don't know why. Chat GPT created this version of the code, which works, and the resulting voice reading is actually surprisingly clear: import fitz # PyMuPDF import pyttsx3 # Get the input file name title = input("Which book would you like to listen to? ") + ".pdf" # Initialize the text-to-speech engine speaker = pyttsx3.init() # User input for page range first_page = int(input("Starting with what page? ")) last_page = int(input("Ending with what page? ")) # Initialize an empty text variable text = "" # Open the PDF file pdf_document = fitz.open(title) # Loop through pages and extract text for page_number in range(first_page - 1, min(last_page, len(pdf_document))): page = pdf_document.load_page(page_number) text += page.get_text() # Close the PDF document pdf_document.close() # Save the MP3 file mp3_output = input("How would you like to call the resulting .mp3 file? ") + ".mp3" speaker.save_to_file(text, mp3_output) speaker.runAndWait() speaker.stop() print(f"Text extracted and saved as {mp3_output}")

    This is the way. Pathlib should be the preferred way of dealing with file objects in place of the os library. There might be some niche scenarios where you want the os library, but for the most part PathLib provides what you need and in a superior format (i.e. it can handle various differences which occur between various file systems).

    New to your channel, and I appreciate the production values and simple approach, but I found the video title a bit clickbaity - converting a PDF file to MP3 and deleting one file in your downloads folder isn't anyone's definition of "the ultimate guide" to "automating my life". Yes, you could extend them both a bit, but neither automate much at all - running a Python program still requires you to run it, and converting the MP3 still requires you to both run it and then play the file. I'm not hating, just wishing that people would be more honest in their titles.

    There are two convenient small things. I try first code and see the sentences it print, but it can’t save anything. If I just use "speak.say(clean_text)", I can hear it fine. But when I try to "speak.say(clean_text)", then "save_to_file(clean_text, file name.mp3)", the production of mp3 file ends up being ahead of the actual pronunciation.

    Technically, there's nothing wrong with that loop (and it makes it look like the original in the video so it's good that way) but it would be more Pythonic (and readable) to avoid using that list like object to iterate over indices derived from that range. It's clearer to avoid indexing like that altogether since pdfreader.pages (as per above) is a list like object and can be iterated directly. That may not have been possible using PyPDF2 (I'm not sure -I'm sure @Martin Thoma could say). Do something like: for page in pdfreader.pages: text = page.extract_text() clean_text += text.strip().replace(' ', '')

    A couple of things I see that might be an issue. clean_text is defined in the for loop, so it's scope is not accessible outside of the for loop. I'm not familiar with the PyPDF2 library, but it looks like extractPage is creating a string. clean_text seems to be getting set to this value with every iteration, meaning that when you have 5 pages of input, each page will overwrite the previous one, and it's value on the 5th iteration would only be the text on the 5th page. At a glance, the documentation shows that pages is an iterable property, so you could simplify the loop as well. This would be a good idea, since getPage is deprecated. Probably I would fix this something like: ... clean_pages_of_text = [] for page in pdfreader.pages: page_text = page.extractText() clean_pages_of_text.append( page_text.strip().replace(' ', ' ')) text_for_speech = ''.join(clean_pages_of_text) speaker.save_to_file(text_for_speech, 'story.mp3') .... I'm perhaps being a bit more verbose with the code than needed, but just trying to make it easier to understand.

    I know this is late but you need to use a python module called "glob" pdf_files = glob.glob("/path/to/dir/*.pdf") this will basically take every file that ends with .pdf and put them in a list and then you have to go through the list and delete each file in the list like this if pdf_files: for file in pdf_files: os.remove(file) print("PDF file/s have been removed successfully") else: print("No PDF files were found in the Downloads directory") you could also modify the pattern like this pdf_files = glob.glob("/path/to/dir/book*.pdf") this will contain every file that starts with book and end with .pdf for example these files will be deleted: book.pdf book1.pdf book23423423.pdf

    Very good topic. Spelling mistakes are normal in live coding situations and non scripted sessions. Don’t initiate influence leakage by apologizing about your spellings when it is not a big deal. You have a good topic, good professional presentation however your copy/ script can be rehearsed to improve the flow. It gets better with experience and chatGPT. Good luck.

    Hey there. I think she did just the last page to save some time. You can initialize the clean_text = ' ' before the loop and inside replace "clean_text =" with "clean_text +=" and eliminate the print. For me worked fine, just that my pdf needed more cleaning :)

    Yeah, I think it needs a blank string and then to add each clean_page to the page. E.g, before the loop: new_page = "" | in the loop, new_page += clean_page.

I solved it this way: clean_text = "" #(initialize the blank string before the loop) clean_text += text.strip().replace('/n', " ") #in the loop In the mp3, I get a pause at the end of each line, but that may because I created the pdf from a Word file.

My first idea that follows me is that i want to solve problemes inside linux and windows like errors you dont see (beginner struggle) and asking yourself whats going on here...i thougth python can grab some of the hidden infos and popup a little helper....and so so...like "you forgot using sudo - type in sudo - here is a webpage what shows u hints using it".

    You seem to be a very sharp tech person, and your pdf to speech automation python script seems to be a very handy time saving script, but now, as I'm sure you know, AI like ChatGPT and many others do that, but I guess it's okay for someone who is learning to program. On the other hand, your delete files in download folder seems to take longer than if you just go into the downloads folder and delete them manually. So people are doing it to learn programming I guess it's okay, but it's a fail when it comes to automation. But I'll give you another chance. So go out there and find some automation scripts that really can save time and effort... you can do it!
