Read your screen aloud
Press one hotkey and Louder reads whatever's on your screen out loud — no copying text, no switching apps. Think of it as a screen reader for listening, not navigating: it uses an AI vision model to speak the part that matters and skip the rest.
How it works
- Press Control in any app.
- Louder captures what's on screen and an AI model reads it.
- It speaks the key content in a natural voice — and stops when there's nothing worth saying.
What you can read this way
- Long articles and blog posts without leaving the page.
- PDFs and documents open in Preview or any viewer.
- Email and long message threads.
- Dashboards, docs, and even code or error messages.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Mac to read the screen aloud?
Install Louder, set a hotkey, and press it in any app. Louder reads what's on screen and speaks the important part in a natural AI voice.
Does it read everything or just the important part?
Louder speaks the content that matters and skips boilerplate, navigation, and filler — and stays silent when there's nothing worth reading aloud.
Is Louder a screen reader?
Not in the assistive-technology sense — for non-visual navigation of macOS, use Apple's built-in VoiceOver. Louder is a read-aloud tool for people who can see the screen but would rather listen, which is a common looser use of the term "screen reader." See our Louder vs VoiceOver comparison for the full difference.
