Text2Speech
Text2Speech is a text-to-speech utility for macOS that converts written text into spoken audio. It allows users to select or paste text and have it read aloud using the system's native voice synthesis capabilities. The app is typically used by people who prefer audio content, those with reading difficulties, or anyone who wants to listen to written material while multitasking. It provides basic controls for playback, voice selection, and speed adjustment.

1 suggestionWe could not find public information about Text2Speech's native Apple Silicon support status. The app's developer site or repository does not appear in our search results, making it difficult to determine whether a native build has been released. Contact the developer directly at your earliest convenience to ask whether Text2Speech has a native Apple Silicon version or when one is planned. This is important because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, scheduled for late 2027 — an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release, giving you roughly 18 months to migrate. As a fallback, macOS includes built-in text-to-speech capabilities accessible through System Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content, which works natively on all Macs; alternatively, many document readers and accessibility tools (such as Voice Dream Reader or built-in reader modes in browsers) offer native Apple Silicon support.
