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

Spokeninbox transforms email newsletters into audio content, providing users with a personalized Spokeninbox email address. You can either subscribe to newsletters using this address or simply forward any email, allowing each message to appear in your Spokeninbox inbox, ready for audio playback. With just a press of Play, a natural-sounding AI voice will read the email aloud, skillfully eliminating unnecessary clutter such as buttons, raw links, and legal disclaimers. Each email is voiced in its original language, whether that's English, Spanish, or Russian, and the service also supports additional features like adding article links, pasted text, and PDFs. Playback is seamless, even when your phone is locked, and the application ensures that each device remembers your last stopping point for convenience. Importantly, Spokeninbox prioritizes your privacy by never logging into your mailbox or requesting your email password. The service is accessible on various platforms, including the web, iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows. Users can try it out with a free plan that allows for 60 minutes of audio listening per month, while premium plans begin at $9.99 a month, offering up to 10 hours of playback. Additionally, this innovative service caters to those who prefer multitasking or have busy lifestyles, allowing them to consume their emails effortlessly.
