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
Elmren Voice is a local text-to-speech studio for Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or newer, macOS 13+). Turn a family's reading assignment into a word-highlighted read-along page, or turn your own manuscript or an authorized EPUB into a chaptered M4B audiobook. Choose from 64 built-in voices or clone your own voice locally.
Export audio, chaptered M4B audiobooks, karaoke-style MP4 videos, or a self-contained HTML read-along file with embedded audio and word highlighting. Open the exported HTML in a browser on another device. Speech synthesis and voice cloning run on your Mac. English reading content is supported today. Use content and voices you own or have permission to use.
Start with one short chapter and a built-in voice, then export your first file. The free trial includes 120 synthesis minutes within 7 days of first run. The full version is $39.99 as a one-time purchase for one Mac, with no subscription.
