Text-to-speech in macOS : having fun with say command to make your macOS talk to you
<p>MacOS have a fun command-line program called “say”: you type “<strong>say</strong>” and <strong>enter some text</strong> and it reads to you. It also has a text-to-speech functionality : you <strong>highlight any text</strong> and it reads to you.</p>
<p>This is a quick tutorial how to use the text-to-speech in macOS : to read any text in any program, to use the terminal with the say command to speak to you, and the different parameters to change the voices, languages and parameters (pitch, speed …). With all these different options, you can really have fun and generate audio files for professional purpose or for pranks :)</p>
<p>NB : These have been tested on my macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 with the Apple M1 chip.</p>
