Richard R b679bf736c chore(config): remove smartSentenceSplitting option and related code paths 
Eliminate the smartSentenceSplitting configuration flag from application state, UI, and all TTS and audiobook adapter logic. Consolidate TTS segment planning to always include context units, streamlining code and reducing conditional branches. Update tests and type definitions to reflect the removal of this feature toggle.

📄🔊 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

  • 🧱 Layout-aware PDF parsing with PP-DocLayoutV3 (ONNX) — structured block detection, cross-page stitching, and geometry-based highlighting for precise read-along sync.
  • ⏱️ Word-by-word highlighting via built-in ONNX Whisper alignment — no external dependencies, runs in-process (COMPUTE_MODE=local) or offloaded to a scalable Redis-backed worker (COMPUTE_MODE=worker).
  • ⚡ Segment-based read-along for EPUB, PDF, TXT, MD, and DOCX — sentence-aware TTS with cached audio segments, background preloading, and resumable playback.
  • 🎯 Multi-provider TTS — self-hosted OpenAI-compatible servers (Kokoro-FastAPI, KittenTTS-FastAPI, Orpheus-FastAPI) or cloud APIs (OpenAI, Replicate, DeepInfra).
  • 🎧 Audiobook export in m4b/mp3 with resumable chapter processing.
  • 🗂️ Flexible backend — embedded SeaweedFS or S3-compatible storage, SQLite or Postgres, server library import, and device sync.
  • 🐳 Self-host friendly — Docker (amd64/arm64), optional auth, and automatic startup migrations.
