OpenRead
Your books, read aloud — entirely offline
Import a book as text, EPUB, PDF or a web page, then let OpenRead read it to you — in one of fourteen Vietnamese voices, or in a voice you clone from your own recording. The whole speech engine ships inside the app: no account, no sign-in, no internet.

What it does
Or clone your own voice
Record a short sample and the model builds a voice from it, on the device. The recording never leaves your iPhone.
Speech that never leaves the device
The Vietnamese voice engine is bundled with the app and runs on your iPhone — no server, no streaming, no account.
Read anything you own
Plain text, EPUB, PDF with reflow, saved web pages, or text you simply paste in.
Follow along, sentence by sentence
The sentence being spoken is highlighted as you read. Tap any line to jump the voice there.
Keeps playing with the screen off
Lock-screen controls, chapter skip and a sleep timer by minutes or end of chapter.
A library that stays yours
Groups, bookmarks with notes, and your exact reading position — all saved locally on device.
Scroll or page
Read as a continuous scroll or turn pages, with four paper tones and light or dark chrome.
Works on a plane
Once a book is in, nothing else is needed. Airplane mode changes nothing.
How it works
Add a book
Import a file, open a web page in the built-in browser, or paste text straight in.
Pick a voice and press play
Choose a style and speed. Speech is generated ahead of you, so playback stays smooth.
Listen anywhere
Pocket the phone, lock the screen, set a sleep timer. Your place is remembered.
Privacy, briefly
OpenRead collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising ID, and no server of ours in the middle. Your books, bookmarks and settings stay on your device.
