Hotkey read-aloud

The whole point of Louder is that it's one keystroke away. A global hotkey means you never leave the app you're in — press it and the screen in front of you gets read aloud.

One keystroke, anywhere

Because Louder is triggered by a system-wide hotkey, it works the same in your browser, in Preview, in Mail, in an IDE, or in any native app. There's no reader window to open and no text to paste — press the key and listen.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Louder hotkey?

By default Louder is triggered with Control, and you can change it. Press it in any app to have your screen read aloud.

Does the hotkey work in every app?

Yes. It's a global macOS hotkey, so it works system-wide — no need to be in a specific browser or app.
