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

The growing use of mobile devices has dramatically changed the world of the Internet. The demands made on webpages by laptops, tablets and smartphones are different from a few years ago so websites today need to be optimized to meet these new challenges. A good website should provide an easy, user-friendly experience. This includes people with impaired vision, learning difficulties, dyslexia as well as senior citizens, children and those who are not reading in their native language. Between 15% and 20% of the world's population struggles with a language-based learning disability. Font size, settings, or the use of plain language can go a long way to help improve accessibility. Integrating iSpeech Text to Voice Reader into your website will greatly improve accessibility. Using iSpeech, your visitors can read and listen at the same time.
