ReadOutLoud

A small macOS SwiftUI app for opening a text, Markdown, or PDF file, placing the cursor anywhere in the rendered text, and reading aloud from that exact position.

Features

  • Open plain text or Markdown files
  • Open PDF files and extract their text
  • Click anywhere in the text to choose the reading start point
  • Read aloud from the selected cursor location
  • Stop and reset playback cleanly
  • Zoom text in and out

Notes

  • PDF support currently reads extracted text rather than rendering the original PDF page layout.
  • Text-based PDFs work best.
  • Scanned or image-only PDFs are not OCR'd.
