pdf_reader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(book)
num_pages = pdf_reader.numPages
play = pyttsx3.init()
print('Playing Audio Book')
for num in range(0, num_pages): #iterating through all pages
page = pdf_reader.getPage(num)
data = page.extractText() #extracting text
play.say(data)
play.runAndWait()Every day when we start our work, we usually open a few common websites like StackOverflow, documentation of the library, Spotify, and youtube.
We can use the web browser module and bash scripting to automate the web. Just write a simple script that opens multiple websites at a time. Next, use the bash and VBS script to run the script without a console with a single click.
Opening tabs are simply as follows,
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("stackoverflow.com")
webbrowser.open("hashnode.com")
webbrowser.open("reddit.com")
The aim of this project is to automatically track the current website or application in use and also the time spent on these sites and applications. Using a JSON file, the data will be saved so that it can be used later as and when needed.
We can specifically mention tracking usage of certain apps or sites that you overuse. This project can be pretty useful in analyzing your social media usage and control it if you wish to do so.
So buddies, that's it! Hope you enjoyed it. Reading is not enough, you have to use them 😎 Happy Coding!
