You have a 40-page PDF. A research paper. A quarterly report. You need to understand it but don’t have 2 hours to read it carefully.
Here’s how to turn it into a podcast two AI hosts discuss for you.
Google’s NotebookLM was built for this. Upload a PDF, and two AI hosts do a thorough analysis. They go deep — covering methodology, findings, implications.
ElevenLabs turns PDFs into podcast discussions with the most natural AI voices available. The audio quality is noticeably better than other options.
audiclip takes a different approach. Instead of one-off PDF uploads, you save articles and documents throughout the day. Each morning, two AI hosts discuss everything you saved — including PDFs, research papers, and articles — in one podcast.
| Scenario | Best Tool |
|---|---|
| ”I need to deeply understand this one paper” | NotebookLM |
| ”I read 5 papers a week and want to keep up” | audiclip |
| ”I need the most natural-sounding audio” | ElevenLabs |
| ”I want to discuss findings with AI hosts” | NotebookLM |
| ”I want it in my podcast app automatically” | audiclip |
If you consume research regularly, the most productive workflow combines tools:
This way you stay aware of everything (via audiclip) while going deep on what matters (via NotebookLM).
Stop saving papers you’ll never read.
