Bored of writing notes in a lecture? How about we convert the notes dictated by the lecturer into text? Use the speechtotext.py script to get the text format of spoken notes, which saves the text in a .txt file.
Too lazy to read a novel? Get an Ebook version of the novel and run the finalAudioBookGenerator.py script. It will generate an mp3(audio) format of the book. Enjoy book listening :)
You can also convert your single images using singleImageReader.py script

An example of each of the script is shown, the text from spoken text.PNG was delivered by me, observe the s2txt.txt it is the output (accurate to a great extent if you have a decent english speaking accent)
Listen to the read.mp3 and observe the page numbers which are spoken from the pdf file. (eg of ebook reader)
