Liseur

Liseur is an EPUB reader for Android built on the Readium toolkit. It opens books from local folders, can read them aloud to you, and is also a client for calibre-web, Komga, BookOrbit, liseur-sync and OPDS catalogs. Books from every source show up on the same shelf. Read aloud Liseur reads any book to you, highlighting each sentence and turning the page as it goes. By default it uses the voices already on your phone, so it works offline and the text stays on the device. For other voices, you can connect a speech server: one you run yourself, such as Kokoro, or a hosted service like OpenAI, Mistral or Groq. * Keeps reading with the screen off, with controls in the notification * Speed from 0.75× to 2× * Sleep timer, or stop at the end of the chapter * Remembers the voice you picked for each language Reading * Paginated or continuous scroll, per book or for the whole library * Bundled fonts (Literata, Vollkorn, Atkinson Hyperlegible, Inter), the publisher's fonts, or fonts you import * Light, sepia, dark and black themes * Adjustable margins, line spacing and brightness * Auto-scroll that continues across chapters * Footer with the page number, what is left of the chapter and estimated time left * E-ink mode without animations, with refresh control on Onyx devices * Highlights in six colours, notes and bookmarks, exportable as Markdown * Full-text search * Footnotes open in a popup * Dictionary lookup through Wiktionary (off by default) or an installed dictionary app Library * Local folders, including the SD card * Series grouped in reading order, with missing volumes shown * Built-in Project Gutenberg browser * Home-screen widgets for the current book and reading time * ZIP backup of settings, fonts, reading positions and annotations Sync * Reading position syncs through calibre-web (Kobo sync), Komga, BookOrbit or liseur-sync * A Custom connection pairs any OPDS catalog with any KOReader sync (kosync) server * With liseur-sync: settings backup per device and reading statistics across devices Privacy No ads, trackers, analytics or account.
