Replace the previous whisper.cpp-based word alignment with a fully ONNX-based implementation using onnxruntime-node and @huggingface/tokenizers. Add new Whisper ONNX model management, alignment mapping, and spectral analysis modules. Remove all code and documentation referencing whisper.cpp, update environment variables, Dockerfile, and docs to reflect ONNX-only alignment. Add unit tests for alignment and ONNX model logic.

# 📄🔊 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.
|
|
|

|
## ✨ 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 (`OPENREADER_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.
