Speech Central

Speech Central is a cool tool that lets you organize news feeds and articles so you can listen to them while you tackle other stuff. It uses the macOS text-to-speech feature, and you can even control it with VoiceOver, which is pretty neat!

Organize Your Content Easily

This app keeps everything sorted by types like headlines, articles, audio files, old articles, or even trash. Plus, whenever you read something, it automatically goes into the old articles folder. So no more losing track of what you've read!

Monitor Your Favorite Sites

If you're looking for convenience, Speech Central has a bunch of popular websites ready for you to start checking out. You can also add specific sites to your collection and manage RSS feeds or OPML files easily.

Add Your Own Files

You can include individual files too! Whether it's DOCX, PPT, PDF, EML, EPUB, FB2, or Daisy formats—this app can handle them all. It quickly generates audio files using text-to-speech rendering. Just head over to Preferences and choose if you want M4A or AIFF audio files.

Customize Your Experience

Within the Preferences section of Speech Central, you get to pick whether the reading voice is male or female—you might even want it to be random! Plus, you can adjust how fast the reading goes.

Playback Options at Your Fingertips

You can limit how long feeds are or skip old headlines if they’re not interesting anymore. There’s also an autoplay feature! While there’s a simple audio player with basic controls built in, you'll find extra options in the status bar menu for more control.

Stay Updated Anywhere

The best part? Speech Central works great with websites and RSS feeds as well as individual article pages or documents. This means staying informed has never been easier!

Multitask Like a Pro!

This handy utility reads everything aloud for you! So whether you're driving or commuting somewhere else, you can multitask without missing out on important info. And if you're legally blind? No problem—VoiceOver makes it super easy to use.
