About
Aloud is a native macOS text-to-speech app for listening to selected text, PDFs, screenshots, images, and web articles. It reads selections from other Mac apps, can skip PDF headers, footers, and page numbers, recognize scanned pages and image text on-device, and highlight words as they are spoken. Users can control playback in a small floating reader, resume recent readings, adjust speed, set pronunciations, and export audio as M4A. Voices include those installed on macOS and the optional Kokoro neural voice, which runs locally on supported Macs. Users may also connect their own ElevenLabs or Cartesia API key for cloud voices, with those providers billing usage separately. Aloud is designed for Mac users who want to listen while working with documents, research, writing, or web content. It requires macOS 14 or later and is sold as a one-time purchase.

About
At Cepstral, Text-to-Speech is our only focus. We make realistic synthetic voices that say anything, anywhere, with personality and style. From the smallest device to large installations and high-end interactive media, Cepstral voices can bring fresh content to your ears, on demand. Cepstral helps you communicate information by turning text into clear, natural sounding speech. Our text-to-speech products are designed to work with your systems and software. And our support staff is here to answer your questions. Please let us know what we can do for you. Cepstral provides speech technologies and services for the spoken delivery of information. We build high quality, natural sounding voices for hand-held, desktop, and server applications. Our technology is easy to incorporate and operates in a small memory footprint with low computing resources. Cepstral has created new techniques for general-purpose voices and "domain voices" which allow the spoken output to be tailored to an app.
