I found myself struggling to comprehend a lot of texts I came across lately, and hearing them read aloud really helps with my focus, so I built Orate. A simple, TTS of any highlighted text in any app.
Would love feedback, bug reports, or suggestions! Thanks!

This app is a super handy productivity booster! Turning any highlighted text into speech with just one hotkey sounds like a perfect tool for multitaskers and anyone on the go.
Orate sounds like a fantastic tool for enhancing focus and comprehension! I love the simplicity of transforming any highlighted text into speech across apps. Great work on making this accessible for everyone. Excited to try it out and see how it helps. 😊

I’ve been using this little menu-bar app and it’s honestly such a hidden gem. 🔥 Just highlight any text, hit the hotkey, and boom — it reads it out loud. Super handy for multitasking or giving your eyes a break. It’s lightweight, fast, and totally free, which makes it kind of a no-brainer if you’re into accessibility tools or just want to absorb info differently.

Orate is a brilliant idea! The ability to turn any highlighted text into speech with a simple hotkey is such an efficient way to improve focus and comprehension.
Do you plan to add any customization options like voice speed, pitch, or different voices? That would make it even more versatile for different needs.
