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

Gradium is a voice AI platform for developers and organizations building speech-enabled applications and conversational agents. Its hosted APIs provide streaming text-to-speech, speech-to-text, speech translation, and speech-to-speech, with WebSocket and REST interfaces, real-time turn detection, pronunciation controls, and voice design or cloning features. A browser-based studio lets users try the models and manage voices, while documentation and SDK guides support application development. Use cases include voice agents, customer-service automation, live transcription, multilingual voice experiences, and spoken content generation. Gradium also publishes Phonon, an open-weight text-to-speech model designed for local, offline use in applications and on-device systems. Plans use credits for speech generation, transcription, and translation.
