v26.827.2
Two things about optional model downloads, both found by using the app on a machine that had none of them.
Downloads show how far along they are
"Downloading Marker layout and OCR…" with no number, for five gigabytes, is indistinguishable from a hang. It now reads "Downloading Marker layout and OCR… 2.1 / 5.0 GB (42%)" and updates every couple of seconds.
A book that arrives before the models do is no longer marked failed
Dropping in a PDF before downloading the embedding models put a red "index failed" badge on it. Nothing was broken — keyword search worked the whole time, and the 4.2 GB semantic-search download simply had not been offered yet.
Those books now say "search pending", and — the part that actually matters — they index themselves as soon as the models land. No re-upload, no restart.
If you have a book stuck on "index failed"
Install this version, then download the BGE-M3 models from the chat page. Anything waiting gets picked up automatically.
Turns PDFs and EPUBs into audiobooks you can read along with, on your own machine. Apple Silicon Macs only. Download pdf2audio-26.827.2-arm64.dmg below.
First time opening it: this build is not signed with an Apple certificate, so macOS refuses it once. Drag it to Applications, double-click, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom and click Open Anyway. If that button is not there, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/pdf2audio.app in Terminal.
You also need Docker — Docker Desktop or OrbStack, installed and running.
First launch downloads about 2.4 GB and takes a while; later ones take seconds.
