What is Aura Reader?
Aura Reader is an offline text-to-speech app for macOS that converts PDFs, EPUB books, web pages, and documents into lifelike audio.
It runs entirely on-device using a local AI TTS model, allowing users to generate long-form audio such as books, articles, and research materials without cloud processing or subscriptions. Generated audio can be exported as standard formats (e.g., MP3) for playback on other devices.
The app also includes a built-in screen capture OCR feature, enabling audio generation from unselectable text or images. It is optimized for macOS and designed to handle extended content efficiently.
Aura Reader can be used as an alternative to Speechify for users who prefer a local, privacy-focused solution.
