So much to do, so little time. These days, we’re expected to be more productive than ever thanks to technology. Unfortunately, that can leave you with more emails, news articles and company reports than you know what to do with — and that doesn’t even account for all the hobbies that keep you sane, like gardening or taking long walks.

Luckily, there’s SpeakMe. It’s an ingenious, easy-to-use Mac app that converts text to audio and exports those audio files into a shareable format.

If you have a reading list you’ve always wanted to tackle, or you stumble across a long article you’re dying to send to an extremely busy friend, SpeakMe will convert the text into audio files that can easily be shared. All you need to do is copy and paste any text you want and you’re ready to go.

Plus, with SpeakMe’s automatic spoken-word tracking, you’ll be able to pick up exactly where you left off. (This proves especially useful for those long reads.) SpeakMe automatically supports all the languages your Mac supports, and you can also tweak the speech speed if you’re in a rush.

Save on SpeakMe text-to-audio app for Mac

This time-saving tool makes it easy for you to catch up with your reading list while multitasking or on the go. It’s a great way to get more done in less time — and share content with your friends.
