Base TTS (Amazon): The largest text-to-speech model to-date
Interesting. Just a couple of hours ago I came across MetaVoice-1B [0] (Demo [1]) and was amazed by the quality of their TTS in English (sadly no other languages available).
If this year becomes the year when high quality Open Source TTS and ASR models appear that can run in real-time on an Nvidia RTX 40x0 or 30x0, then that would be great. On CPU even better.

A better document viewer
If by "like a photocopy" you mean the file contains images of text rather than text, the MacOS viewer presumably does OCR on the images. I don't know if there's a Linux document viewer with that capability built-in, but a quick search turned up the standalone tool OCRmyPDF.

OCR pdf and just keep the OCR text
Fair enough, maybe this might work for you, it should seperate the text from image anyway and if you have Adobe acrobat it should be able delete the background too with the edit function. It may already be able to do that if you haven't tried it
