No description
Update audio format sniffing to require a full 10-byte ID3 header for mp3 detection and add stricter validation of MPEG frame headers to avoid false positives. Refactor ffmpeg process spawning to register abort listeners before module import, ensuring abort signals are handled promptly and preventing orphaned processes. Expand tests to cover edge cases in mp3 header detection. |

📄🔊 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 multilingual, 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 ONNX Whisper alignment through the compute worker control plane (NATS JetStream-backed).
- ⚡ 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).
- 🌐 Multilingual support — choose a document language for language-aware narration and highlighting. Available languages depend on the configured TTS provider and voice.
- 🎧 Audiobook export in
m4b/mp3with 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), built-in auth/session support, and automatic startup migrations.
