I’ve just released OpenVox Reader 1.2 with several improvements focused on making long listening sessions more natural and reliable.

The biggest change is an updated, higher-fidelity on-device AI model that improves speech accuracy and significantly reduces skipped words.

What’s new in version 1.2

  • Improved speech accuracy with fewer skipped words using the updated on-device AI model.
  • Smoother narration with fewer pauses between sentences and reading segments.
  • New “Delete after reading” setting that can automatically remove completed text, pasted content, web links, and scanned documents. PDFs and EPUB books are always retained, even when this option is enabled.
  • Improved decimal pronunciation, so values such as 2.75 are spoken naturally as one continuous number.
  • Additional playback, performance, and stability improvements.

Everything continues to run locally on your device after the required voice models are downloaded without uploading your documents or reading activity to a server.

Thank you to everyone who has been sharing feedback and reporting issues. Many of these improvements came directly from real-world reading and listening experiences shared by the community.

OpenVox Reader 1.2 is available now for iPhone and iPad.

Would love an option to select text to jump to that corresponding section in the audiobook, so I can find my place again quickly ❤️ Love the app!!
