Narrator
Narrator is a text-to-speech and document narration utility for macOS developed by Mariner Software. It reads aloud the text content of documents, web pages, and other text sources using the system's built-in or custom voices. The app is designed for users who prefer audio playback of written material, including those with visual impairments, students, professionals who multitask while reading, and anyone who wants to consume content through listening. Narrator integrates with macOS system services and supports customisation of voice, speed, and reading preferences.

1 suggestionWe could not find definitive information about whether Narrator has a native Apple Silicon build. The search results returned are about Microsoft's Windows Narrator screen reader, which is not the same product as Mariner Software's Narrator for macOS. Contact Mariner Software directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned or already available. In the meantime, if you need text-to-speech functionality on Apple Silicon, macOS includes a built-in text-to-speech feature accessible through System Preferences (Speech) that works natively on all M-series Macs, and the free open-source Natural Reader app also offers native Apple Silicon support for document narration.
