Everything you need to know about Free ODT Reader: Listen to OpenDocument Text Files Aloud.
Upload your .odt file here and it opens in the browser. No LibreOffice, OpenOffice or Google Docs account is required to read or listen to it.
ODT is OpenDocument Text, the open standard word-processing format used by LibreOffice, OpenOffice and many government and academic systems that avoid proprietary formats.
Yes. ReadLoudly extracts the text with its heading structure intact and narrates it with 1200+ AI voices, which makes long ODT reports much easier to review.
No need. ReadLoudly reads ODT natively. Converting first can lose heading structure, which would actually make the narration flow worse.
Yes. Reading and listening to ODT files is free, with no account required to start and no watermark on anything. Paid plans — Core at $5/month, Plus at $10/month, Pro at $19/month — raise the upload size limit, unlock all 1200+ AI voices, add MP3 downloads and offline listening, and remove ads.
Yes — ODT is fully supported on this page, and it is one of 24 formats ReadLoudly reads aloud: documents (PDF, DOCX, ODT, RTF), ebooks (EPUB, MOBI, AZW, FB2, CHM, LRF, LIT, PDB, RB), text and web files (TXT, HTML), comics (CBR, CBZ), and images (via OCR) (JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WEBP, TIFF, SVG). Upload an ODT file here and it opens straight away; any other format on that list has its own reader page.
Yes. This reader runs in the mobile browser on iOS and Android — nothing to install — so you can open an ODT file straight from your phone's Files app, an email attachment or a cloud drive. Playback continues in the background, and your position syncs to any other device you sign in on.
It is parsed to extract its text, then removed from the processing servers. ReadLoudly does not train models on your files, does not share them with third parties, and does not make them visible to anyone else. Signed-in users can choose to keep an ODT file in their own private library; a guest upload is discarded when the session ends.
ODT is OpenDocument Text, the format used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice. ReadLoudly opens it directly in the browser, so you do not need the original software that created it.
Every format gets its own reader page rather than being funnelled into one generic uploader, so nothing loses its format-specific handling. Nearest neighbours to ODT among ReadLoudly's documents: RTF, PDF, PDF, DOCX. The Tools page lists all of them.
