What is PDF to AI podcast in 9 Indian languages?
This n8n workflow template converts PDF documents into multi-host podcast episodes using AI voice generation. It works with 9 Indian languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, and Punjabi) as well as custom cloned voices. The workflow uses GPT models for script generation and Smallest AI for voice synthesis, then delivers the finished podcast via Gmail. It's useful for organisations that want to repurpose written content like research papers, whitepapers, or reports into audio format without manual recording or hiring voice actors.
