Examples:

  • /pdf2audio-minimax /path/to/story.pdf (auto-select voice)

Workflow

  • voice_id: Voice identifier (optional)

2. Read PDF Content

Read: file_path = <pdf_path>

3. Extract Text & Metadata

Extract readable text, skipping page numbers and headers. Keep chapter titles, body text, dialogue.

Extract metadata for file naming:

  1. Story Name: Extract from the PDF's parent directory name (e.g., /path/我的世界/chapters/file.pdf → 我的世界)
  2. Chapter Number: Extract from filename pattern *-XX.pdf or content like 第X章 (e.g., 我的世界-03.pdf → 03)
  3. Chapter Title: Extract from the first chapter heading in content (e.g., 第3章:迷宫里的真心话 → 迷宫里的真心话)

4. Select Voice

If voice_id provided: Use the specified voice.

If voice_id not provided: Auto-select based on content keywords:

  speed: 1

6. Rename Output File

After MiniMax generates the MP3, rename it to follow the naming convention:

<STORY_NAME>_<CHAPTER_NUMBER>_<CHAPTER_TITLE>.mp3

Examples:

  • 我的世界_03_迷宫里的真心话.mp3
  • 文明的最后一个变量_01_第一次接触.mp3

Rename command:

mv "<generated_file>.mp3" "<output_directory>/<STORY_NAME>_<CHAPTER_NUMBER>_<CHAPTER_TITLE>.mp3"

7. Output

Report the final MP3 path with the properly formatted filename.
