** Meta Releases Open-Source PDF-to-Podcast Toolkit, NotebookLlama, for Developers
Meta has released NotebookLlama, an open-source toolkit that converts PDF documents into podcasts. The four-step process guides users through a structured workflow without requiring prior experience with large language models or audio processing.

The toolkit offers a practical way to experiment with LLMs and TTS models to create conversational, audio-ready content. While users appreciate the flexibility of the open-source model, some pointed out limitations in voice quality compared to Google's proprietary system. Future improvements include refining the Text-to-Speech model and exploring interactive podcast scripts.
