XReading is an offline AI TTS reader for EPUB, MOBI, TXT files. Unlike most readers, everything runs on-device — no internet, no account, your data never leaves your phone. Built with SherpaOnnx and a natural British English voice for a warmer, more human feel. Free to use, with optional premium features coming. Private, offline-first, and format-friendly — that's what makes it different.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Huang Minfeng, a solo indie dev behind XReading.
After 15 years in software engineering — 10 years specializing in iOS development at NetEase and Baidu — I left my full-time role to build apps independently, and XReading is my first creation.
### XReading: Offline AI Book Reader with Natural TTS
A privacy-first text-to-speech reader for EPUB, MOBI and TXT files.
✅ 100% on-device processing (powered by SherpaOnnx)
✅ No internet, no login, no cloud uploads
✅ Natural voices for English and Mandarin Chinese
✅ Multiple voice options & adjustable playback speed
No more robotic machine voices, no forced subscriptions, no privacy risks. Your books and reading history never leave your iPhone.
### My motivation
I love reading, but busy life keeps me from picking up books. Frustrated by cloud-dependent readers and stiff TTS audio, I built XReading for people who want simple, private and human-like audiobook experience offline.
I share my development journey publicly on X via #BuildInPublic.
