NarrationOS is a Windows application that generates audiobooks entirely on your own machine. It reads EPUB, PDF, DOCX, RTF, TXT, Markdown and HTML, includes an editor for fine-tuning narration and pronunciations, clones a voice from a 10 to 30 second recording, and exports MP3, WAV or MP4 with a karaoke reader. It runs on NVIDIA, AMD or Intel GPUs or on CPU, and sells on itch.io for $8.99 or more as a one-time purchase with updates included. Version 1.1.0, released around 12 September 2026, fixed accented pronunciations and made setup self-repair. Solo developer Luno Sama.
