1. Check your PDF
Try selecting a sentence in your PDF reader. If the page is only an image, use an OCR tool first and check its output. Folio needs selectable text and accepts files up to 25 MB.
2. Upload and choose
Open Folio, sign in and choose Add. Upload your PDF, select a voice and use the PDF page range if you only want a section. Page ranges refer to positions in the PDF, which can differ from printed page numbers.
3. Review the extracted text
Look for repeated headers, out-of-order columns and tables. If extraction is unsuitable, prepare a clean TXT or DOCX version and upload that instead. Check the minute reservation before generating.
4. Listen and save
When the audiobook is ready, press play. Use Save offline and wait for Saved offline before disconnecting. Export MP3 creates a separate audio file you can keep.
