What is Yapit?
Yapit is an open-source TTS platform that makes documents, research papers, and web pages actually listenable.
Upload a PDF, paste a URL, or drop a file. Yapit extracts the content intelligently: math equations display but aren't read aloud, figures show with extracted images, citations become natural prose, and page noise like headers and watermarks is filtered out. The result looks faithful to the original and sounds natural.
Features:
- AI-powered extraction that preserves visual formatting while adapting content for listening
- Free browser-local TTS via Kokoro (WebGPU)
- State of the art premium cloud voices (Inworld TTS 1.5)
- Text highlighting and auto-scroll during playback
- Document outliner for navigating and skipping sections
- Keyboard shortcuts and media controls
- Self-hostable
Comments and Reviews
I struggle keeping focus when reading. Listening at the same time as reading plus text-highlighting help me lot to keep track of the text and not drift with my thoughts. Yapit enables me not just to listen to simple text, but academic papers, blogpost, or any other document with challenging formatting - without any auditory or visual distractions.
Existing TTS tools treat this as an afterthought: You get raw LaTeX read aloud, figure captions mixed into body text, page numbers narrated between paragraphs. The extraction is dumb, so the audio is distracting or outright unusable.
Yapit solves all of these issues, and does so in an accessible way
