- Replace `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE` and related variables with `COMPUTE_MODE` - Replace `OPENREADER_*` PDF/Whisper model URLs with `PDF_LAYOUT_MODEL_BASE_URL` and `WHISPER_MODEL_BASE_URL` - Remove legacy `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` runtime config seeds in favor of `RUNTIME_SEED_*` - Update documentation, code, and environment references to match new variable names - Remove deprecated `scripts/fetch-models.mjs` and related npm script - Update runtime config SSR injection from `window.__OPENREADER_RUNTIME_CONFIG__` to `window.__RUNTIME_CONFIG__` - Adjust Next.js config to use new compute mode env var and optimize output file tracing for ONNX dependencies BREAKING CHANGE: Environment variable names for compute mode, model URLs, and runtime config seeding have changed. Update `.env` files and deployment configs to use `COMPUTE_MODE`, `PDF_LAYOUT_MODEL_BASE_URL`, `WHISPER_MODEL_BASE_URL`, and `RUNTIME_SEED_*` as appropriate. Legacy `OPENREADER_*` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` variables are no longer supported.

# 📄🔊 OpenReader
|
|
|
|
OpenReader is an open source, self-host-friendly text-to-speech document reader built with Next.js for **EPUB, PDF, TXT, MD, and DOCX** with synchronized read-along playback.
|
|
|
|
> Previously named **OpenReader-WebUI**.
|
|
|
|
> **Get started in the [docs](https://docs.openreader.richardr.dev/)**.
|
|
|
|
## ✨ Highlights
|
|
|
|
- 🎯 **Multi-provider TTS** with OpenAI-compatible endpoints and cloud providers (Kokoro-FastAPI, KittenTTS-FastAPI, Orpheus-FastAPI or OpenAI, Replicate, DeepInfra).
|
|
- 📖 **Read-along playback** for PDF/EPUB with sentence-aware narration.
|
|
- ⏱️ **Word-by-word highlighting** via built-in ONNX Whisper alignment in local compute mode (`COMPUTE_MODE=local`).
|
|
- 🧱 **Layout-aware PDF parsing** (PP-DocLayoutV3 ONNX) with structured blocks for cleaner TTS/chaptering.
|
|
- 🛜 **Sync + library import** to bring docs across devices and from server-mounted folders.
|
|
- 🗂️ **Flexible storage** with embedded SeaweedFS or external S3-compatible backends.
|
|
- 🎧 **Audiobook export** in `m4b`/`mp3` with resumable chapter processing.
|
|
- 🐳 **Self-host friendly** with Docker, optional auth, and automatic startup migrations.
