Description

Aloud is a native text-to-speech application for macOS that allows users to listen to selected text, PDFs, screenshots, images, and web articles. It has the capability to read selections from various Mac applications, can bypass headers, footers, and page numbers in PDFs, recognizes text from scanned pages and images on-device, and highlights words as they are read aloud. Playback can be managed through a compact floating reader, allowing users to resume previous readings, modify the reading speed, set specific pronunciations, and export audio files in the M4A format. The app includes voices available on macOS along with the optional Kokoro neural voice, which operates locally on compatible Macs. Additionally, users have the option to integrate their own ElevenLabs or Cartesia API keys for accessing cloud voices, though those services may incur separate charges. Aloud caters to Mac users who prefer an auditory experience while engaging with documents, conducting research, writing, or browsing web content. It is compatible with macOS 14 or newer and is available for purchase as a one-time fee. This makes it an ideal solution for those seeking convenience and efficiency in their multitasking endeavors.

Description

CereProc is thrilled to unveil CereWave AI, our cutting-edge neural text-to-speech system that utilizes state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Available now through the CereVoice Cloud, CereWave AI delivers speech that surpasses the naturalness of existing text-to-speech solutions, offering unprecedented human-like emphasis and intonation. This innovative model synthesizes audio waveforms from the ground up, leveraging a deep neural network that has undergone extensive training on vast quantities of speech data. Throughout the training process, the network learns to capture the fundamental characteristics of various voices, enabling it to generate highly realistic speech waveforms. Not only does CereWave AI create a voice that closely mimics human speech, but it also allows comprehensive editing and customization, making it possible to adjust the speech to any language, gender, accent, or age. Remarkably, while traditional text-to-speech systems often require around 30 hours of recorded material, CereWave AI can produce a high-quality voice with only 4 hours of data, revolutionizing the field of speech synthesis. This advancement signifies a major leap forward in accessibility and versatility for developers and users alike.
