Migrate PDF parsing to use ONNX Docling layout model for structured block extraction, enabling improved TTS segmentation and chaptering. Add compute backend abstraction for heavy tasks (alignment, layout parsing) with configuration via `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE`. Integrate block-level locators and document settings for per-document PDF parsing options. Update S3 storage for parsed PDF JSON, add migration and schema changes, and extend client and server APIs for parsed data and settings. Remove legacy word highlight flag in favor of compute capability detection. - Add ONNX model download, local/none compute modes, and `onnxruntime-node` dependency - Update PDF viewer and TTS pipeline to use parsed blocks and block-level locators - Add document settings storage and APIs for per-document PDF options - Update S3 storage layout for parsed PDF JSON - Add admin/config/docs updates for new compute and parsing features - Remove obsolete word highlight runtime flag and UI BREAKING CHANGE: PDF parsing and word highlighting now require `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE=local` and ONNX model; document settings and S3 layout updated; legacy word highlight flag removed. |

📄🔊 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.
✨ 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 optional
whisper.cpptimestamps (OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE=local+WHISPER_CPP_BIN). - 🧱 Layout-aware PDF parsing (Docling 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/mp3with resumable chapter processing. - 🐳 Self-host friendly with Docker, optional auth, and automatic startup migrations.
