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
Orate is an AI toolkit for speech that enables developers to create realistic, human-like speech and transcribe audio through a unified API compatible with leading AI providers such as OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and AssemblyAI. The platform offers text-to-speech functionality, allowing users to convert text into lifelike speech using a simple API that integrates seamlessly with various providers. For instance, by importing the 'speak' function from Orate and the desired provider, developers can generate speech from text prompts. Additionally, Orate provides speech-to-text capabilities, transforming spoken words into meaningful text with unparalleled accuracy, speed, and reliability. By importing the 'transcribe' function and the chosen provider, users can transcribe audio files into text. The toolkit also supports speech-to-speech transformations, enabling users to change the voice of their audio using a straightforward voice-to-voice API compatible with leading AI providers.
