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

Speaklit is a desktop and browser-based reading and productivity assistant that combines text-to-speech, AI explanations, and voice dictation. Users can select text for spoken playback with word highlighting, choose a voice and adjust speech speed, ask AI to simplify or summarize difficult passages, and ask follow-up questions. On Windows and Linux, its screen-explanation feature describes visible content such as forms, error messages, email, and PDFs. Voice-to-text dictation is available on the Max plan. Speaklit offers desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus a Chrome extension for browser use. The free plan allows up to 20 uses per day, including up to five AI answers; paid plans start at $4.99 per month. It is intended for general computer users, including people at work, students, parents, and language learners who want help reading, understanding, or entering text across apps.
