- Text-to-speech that follows along as you read
-
-
- OpenReader highlights every word as it’s spoken, turning
- any document into a synchronized read-along experience. Connect
- any OpenAI-compatible TTS provider — including Kokoro,
- KittenTTS, Deepinfra, or your own self-hosted endpoint.

+
+
{instanceBadge}
+
+ Turn static files into a living read-along surface.
+
+
+ OpenReader is a self-host-friendly workspace for EPUB, PDF, TXT, MD, and DOCX. It combines
+ synchronized speech, fast navigation, and cloud or local TTS providers so long-form reading is easier
+ to sustain.
Each word lights up in sync with the audio so you never lose your place.
