Local Access to Your Voice Service

Get things working on the same Wi-Fi or LAN first — this is the most recommended first-stage advanced integration.

Why Local Access Is Recommended First

If you just want to get enhanced audiobooks working, the most recommended approach is to start with local access:

  • Your local voice service runs on your computer or home server
  • Your phone and the host are on the same local network
  • You do not need to expose anything to the public internet

This is the easiest way to troubleshoot and is the best fit for a first integration.

Integration Steps

  1. Start the Web UI or HTTP service of your local voice service.
  2. Confirm your phone can reach the host IP, for example http://192.168.1.119:50000/.
  3. Fill in the remote address on the "AI Model Management" screen in NovelPlayer.
  4. Return to the reading screen or ADV screen and trigger voice generation.

Network Requirements

  • The service must not listen only on 127.0.0.1, otherwise your phone cannot reach it.
  • The phone and the host must be on a mutually reachable network; guest Wi-Fi often blocks LAN device access.
