I made an in browser PDF reader for any compatible TTS server

[richardr1126]

Hey everyone,

I contributed to this repo a few weeks ago (adding AAC audio format) trying to get a PDF reader app on the Mac app store to work with their system that claims to be OpenAI compatible. Well I got it working with that PR I contributed, but I wasn't satisfied with the app I bought 🤦‍♂️. It converted the PDFs to plain text and was not great for viewing the actual document.

I searched a lot for "open ai compatible pdf reader" online and couldn't really find what I was looking for, some similar to the GUI for this repo. Which are good, but not as convenient for viewing and listening at the same time, and just uploading your document.

What I made (WIP)

I have been working on a React/Next.js site to read PDFs in the browser with any compatible OpenAI API tts endpoint. It uses react-pdf and PDF.js. I will be trying to add .epub files soon as well, then I will focus on .docx and .doc.

For now you can convert most text files to PDF to be used

I have a demo of the site up as well, which is using my hosted endpoint (until too many people start using it probably, lol).
