Out Loud is free, open-source, 100% offline AI text-to-speech for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Everything runs on your machine. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. Built on Kokoro-82M, ranked among the top TTS models in TTS Arena.
## What's new in 1.0.9
1.0.9 is a maintenance release — release tooling and CI improvements, no user-facing changes — that rolls up everything added since 1.0.2:
- macOS builds are now signed and notarized (since 1.0.3), so first launch opens immediately with no Gatekeeper prompt.
- Talker mode + accessibility (1.0.6): a type-and-speak mode usable with your eyes closed, full keyboard control (⌘/Ctrl+Enter, Shift+Enter, Esc), and screen-reader announcements.
- Pause tags (1.0.6): drop silence anywhere with
[1s],[500ms],<pause=1s>, or<break time="1s"/>, with pause-aware highlighting. - In-app update notifications and a Help/About panel (1.0.6).
See CHANGELOG.md (github.com) for the full list.
## Highlights
- 50+ natural voices across 8 languages: English (US & UK), Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Hindi
- 100% offline after install. Nothing leaves your device
- Talker mode for hands-free, eyes-free use, plus full keyboard control
- Inline pause tags for fine-grained control over pacing
- Desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux with system-tray integration and in-app update notifications
- Chrome extension included. Read any webpage aloud
- Local HTTP API on
127.0.0.1:51730for scripts and other tools. Full OpenAPI spec - Open source. Audit, fork, or improve the code

## First-launch warnings
- macOS: Builds are signed with our Apple Developer ID and notarized, so the app opens immediately on first launch — no Gatekeeper prompt.
- Windows: SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". Click More info → Run anyway. The installer bundles all required runtime dependencies (including the Visual C++ Redistributable), so TTS works on fresh Windows installs.
Windows code-signing remains on the roadmap.
