Just Aloud
Give selected text a voice.
The idea
A useful job.
A fitting screen.
Sometimes it is easier to listen. A selected passage should be a short interaction away from clear speech, with playback controls that stay out of the way.
My contribution
I maintain Just Aloud as an independent Speak11 derivative, with a native menu-bar interface and a public release. The original project by Stefano Martiniani is credited in the repository.
Inside the project
- Voice, speed and sentence-pause controls in a familiar menu.
- ElevenLabs speech, with optional local synthesis.
- A public release and inspectable source; provider requirements are documented in the repository.
