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
Open and read aloud text from various file formats such as ePub, PDF, and others, while also enabling the conversion of text into audio files. With a user-friendly built-in browser, you can access your preferred websites and let T2S narrate the content for you. The speak mode allows for easy audio conversion of any text you type in, making it simple to use across different applications. You can utilize the sharing feature from other apps to send text or URLs directly to T2S for narration, and when it comes to URLs, the app is capable of loading and extracting text from articles found on web pages. For users with Android devices running version 6 or higher, there’s an option to select text from other applications and then choose the 'Speak' option from the selection menu, although this may require additional third-party apps for standard functionality. Additionally, you can copy text or URLs from other applications and tap T2S's Floating speak button to have your copied content read aloud, with this feature being easily activated in the app's settings. In case you encounter difficulties downloading T2S from Google Play, you have the option to obtain the latest version through an Apk file. This versatility makes T2S a practical tool for anyone needing auditory text assistance.
