PDFSpeech will help you read more. It taps into text-to-speech (TTS) technology built into macOS to help you zip through PDFs. With great tools at hand, you’ll look forward to reading a book cover to cover, and even read an entire chapter in one sitting. PDFSpeech strives to banish the effort involved in reading, and it adds invaluable momentum to help you complete your biggest reading tasks.
