macOS and iPadOS
Listen. Follow the words. Keep them.
AudioReader is a local-first audiobook study app for language learners. Play the book, read what was spoken, save vocabulary with its original sentence, and review without leaving the passage.
Local-first on Mac and iPad
Imported audiobooks, EPUBs, covers, and on-device transcription stay on this device. You can use AudioReader without an account. An optional first-party email sign-in is available when you want learning data on more than one device.
Audiobooks and ebooks stay separate
Audiobooks and ebooks are exclusive kinds. A folder that contains both audio and an EPUB imports as two books. There is no companion attach and no mixing of spoken audio with published EPUB text.
Study from the original sentence
On-device SpeechAnalyzer transcription times the words you hear. Save a word with its sentence, book, chapter, and timestamp. Play the sentence clip. Review in a due-first queue that still uses the original narration.
Optional account, sync, and AI
Email OTP is optional. Sync copies learning records when you turn it on. Transcripts upload only with your grant, signed-in sync, and a server that offers the feature. AI is optional after versioned consent. There is no paid unlock and no native social login.
