How Louder works
Louder turns your screen into speech in three steps — no copy-paste, no separate reader window, works in any macOS app.
The three steps
- Press the hotkey (Control) in whatever app you're using.
- Louder captures your screen and an AI vision model reads it — understanding what's actually there, not just raw text.
- It speaks the important part in a natural voice, and stays silent when there's nothing worth saying.
What makes it different
- It reads your live screen, so it works in any app — not just documents you import.
- It extracts what matters instead of reading every word.
- It uses natural AI voices, comfortable enough for long listening.
- It's native to macOS and signed + notarized, so it installs with a clean double-click.
Frequently asked questions
How does Louder read my screen?
When you press the hotkey, Louder captures what's on screen and uses an AI vision model to read it, then speaks the important part aloud in a natural voice.
Do I need to select text first?
No. Louder reads what's on screen without you selecting or copying anything — just press the hotkey.
Is my screen data private?
Louder captures the screen only when you trigger it with the hotkey to produce the read-aloud, not continuously in the background.
Don’t read, just listen
