print('Playing Audio Book')
for num in range(0, num_pages): #iterating through all pages
page = pdf_reader.getPage(num)
data = page.extractText() #extracting text
play.say(data)
play.runAndWait()Every day when we start our work, we usually open a few common websites like StackOverflow, documentation of the library, Spotify, and youtube.

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("stackoverflow.com")
webbrowser.open("hashnode.com")
webbrowser.open("reddit.com")
The aim of this project is to automatically track the current website or application in use and also the time spent on these sites and applications. Using a JSON file, the data will be saved so that it can be used later as and when needed.
