    Gary, getting the audio from a text is of so much value for me as a foreign language learner. Your method is much easier than mine. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

    OMG you're amazing! I love all these examples you've given, I'm especially intrigued with creating a shortcut for creating a spoken audio file. This opens up so many exiting ideas for me. Thank you so much for what you do!!!

    As I was following this I saw that their was an entirely different selection of voices I could choose from and download!! The Option Escape for controlling the speech was also helpful! I am so happy I found your channel!! Great videos!!

    I've been wanting to make this speech shortcut for so long but never gave a serious effort to make it. Until this morning.
    I am currently learning Mandarin. So, I need quick shortcut to listen to how the sentences are read in chinese.

    Hi there, thank you for this great video that will help me as a teacher. How can we add a stop function to the speaking shortcut ? Thx in advance for your answer

    🤣 For those as dumb as me, I first tried pressing the option key, expecting to then press cmd and then press S, but nothing happened…😮 Eventually it dawned on my to press _and hold_ option AND cmd AND S together, not as individual key entries. As a MacOS newbie I live and learn … slowly 😅.

    Great, but how about add "to music as a spoken text?" (the first command when you right click). I used this feature since years and it has been faster for me.

    Hi I'm blind is there a device that can read info from the outside for example I can hold the device in my hand and aim it at objects and the machine will read it back to me? Thanks your app has been very helpful to me with reading the Mac and iPhone

    • @macmost
      @macmost  8 місяців тому

      I don't know about other devices, but the iPhone's Magnifier app has a Detection Mode that does some of this.

    Hi Gary
    Quick question off topic a lil
    If I purchase your FCP beginner series ( I think ten videos) those will be mine to watch as long or as many times as I want or need ?
    Would that be the same for iMovie pay series you have as well ?
    Thanks

    Do you know why it does not highlight text while it is reading in Firefox or Chrome? Thanks!

      I guess those apps don't support it, perhaps?
