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.


v1.8
Use a new single-key shortcut "r" to draw a rectangle annotation on the page. Click and drag to the right and downwards to specify the rectangle. The rectangle annotation is only available when PDFSpeech is running on macOS 10.13 (macOS High Sierra) and newer.
Use single key shortcut "z" to undo the last annotation.
Note that the rectangle annotation cannot be selected within PDFSpeech. So the only way to undo it is immediately after, by using the "z" key. The rectangle is saved as a standard PDF annotation so it can be selected, edited, or removed in any PDF editor, including macOS’s built-in Preview app.
You can now read the PDF in dark mode! Use View > Toggle Dark Mode for PDF Contents, or use the shortcut "Command D".
The PDFSpeech User Guide has been updated.
