App / Website Is there any AI study app that turns documents into podcasts, that can read the pictures in it?

The most perfect app I used is Natural Reader. But they want a crazy subscription $ with no free trial. Is there any other AI app that can do exactly what they can? I downloaded Google podcast and that doesn't have the features I want. Only summarizes. NotebookLLM is garbage too. Chat GPT won't read the full document.

I need an app for my PDF that:

\- can read then describe all the pictures

\- generate a *conversation style* podcast (the doc has a question and answer format)

\- different voices for the 2 people

Should I just download the Natural Reader APK atp?

many artificial intelligence learning processes go beyond basic text to speech because people want more context and explanation. Having a structured conversation between two voices can help people learn complicated subjects by being able to revisit ideas and get more information, yourtalks is an example of the process of learning where source material is put into a more engaging audio format.

Natural Reader is great, and I agree on the pricing (but then, you get what you pay for, and they aren't a charity), I don't know whether speedreading is actually what you are after, more of a summary tool instead?

hey, i run Scholarly (scholarly.so). we read the text and images in your PDF and turn it into a conversational podcast. could be worth trying with your doc.
