ReadAIrr library grid with narrator navigation

Summary

ReadAIrr is a community continuation of Readarr focused on audiobook-friendly collection management. It keeps the familiar automation base for indexers, download clients, import, rename, and library monitoring while moving the project toward narrator-aware matching, stronger metadata choices, Docker-first deployment, and transparent public updates.

Audiobook aware Narrators, spoken editions, STT evidence, and import review are treated as product concerns instead of afterthoughts.

Deployable today The maintained image is ghcr.io/readairr/app, with a same-VM Postgres compose path and Unraid packaging work underway.

Fork independent ReadAIrr now has its own site, docs, update service, branding, and release branches instead of leaning on retired upstream services.

Features

Narrator-aware library work

ReadAIrr adds visible narrator navigation and is building a missing-narrator review flow that can use metadata and speech-to-text evidence together. The goal is to let users accept high-confidence matches quickly while keeping manual confirmation close to the transcript when judgment matters.

Smarter unmatched file review

Unmatched files are being shaped around real audiobook folders: multi-part books can be treated as one review entry, numbered files can be grouped together, and STT only needs to sample the first file in a series before proposing evidence.

Hosted metadata by default

New docker deployments default to the hosted Goodreads-compatible metadata service. Development settings also offer a hosted Hardcover source and a custom rreading-glasses URL for people who want to run their own metadata service.

Practical deployment and updates

Public dev, val, and prod container tracks pair with a first-party update service, a Docker Compose path with Postgres included, and an Unraid template that exposes the options users actually need.

What's New

Current development baseline

ReadAIrr is now more than a rename.

The latest development work gives the project public Docker tracks, hosted metadata defaults, cleaner deployment docs, narrator-focused workflows, and a site that can explain the direction clearly.

Read the changelog

Narrator matching Missing narrator queues, individual and bulk STT, transcript-backed confirmation, and confidence-aware auto accept are now highlighted as core direction.

Metadata choices Goodreads hosted is the default, Hardcover hosted is available, and custom rreading-glasses URLs remain supported for users who run their own compatible service.

Deployment polish Public dev, val, and prod images pair with Compose and Unraid setup paths users can reason about.
