Kiyah Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I like to have text read out loud to me because I need to reduce eye strain caused by staring at a screen. Is there a way that I can get Accordance to read text out loud for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven S Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Hi @Kiyah. Such a feature is available on macOS (see here), but I don't think it has yet been implemented in the Windows version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chun Kit Chris Wong Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Currently, the available voices for reading out the text are somewhat robotic. It would be awesome if Accordance allows Siri voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accordance for Windows should cost less than the Mac version since we always have fewer features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Speech and Book icons on the toolbar are the two main features we need to add to Windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diatheke76 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I don’t think this feature lets you read entire books. It says to select a text and then do amplify speech to read just a selection. I would like to see a real “Read out loud” where you can click a speaker 🔈 icon and it will read an entire book to you. Especially on iPhone! Who wants to sit on a desktop and listen to a book?

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Feel free to request that under "Feature Requests". I go back and forth with audiobook reading. Sometimes I use an iPhone or iPad. Sometimes I'll use a computer if I'm sitting there working. Beats listening to music. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diatheke76 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Yep 👍 When it’s audiobook time, I don’t do music for that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
