NarrationOS 1.0.0: the studio is open

NarrationOS 1.0.0 is on its way to Steam and itch.io. Drop in a book and get back a finished audiobook read by an AI narrator, rendered entirely on your own machine. Then shape every line in a real editor until it sounds right.

What's in the box

  • Universal ingest: EPUB, PDF, DOCX, RTF, TXT, Markdown, HTML, URLs, pasted text, and OCR for scanned pages.
  • Single-narrator render with stream-as-it-renders playback and word-level karaoke highlighting.
  • The Narration Editor, the heart of the app: click any line to fix a pronunciation, audition it, or voice its sound effects, all previewed before you render.
  • Consent-gated voice cloning and export to tagged audio files.
  • Runs on NVIDIA (CUDA) and AMD (ROCm) GPUs on Windows, or plain CPU. Intel Arc (XPU) is experimental.
  • An experimental full-cast mode is in progress (speaker detection is still rough and needs hand-correcting, so single narrator is the recommended path for now).

Wishlist & join in

The Steam and itch.io pages are live now. Wishlist on Steam to be notified at launch, and hop into the Discord for early builds, showcases, and to help shape what ships next.

The community server is live

There's now a home for NarrationOS on Discord: a place for install help, usage questions, feature requests, and showcasing the audiobooks you make. Bug reports there get triaged and fixed fastest.
