Read aloud
Select text in another app and have Peanut read it back with voice and speed controls.
Text-to-speech app
Read any desktop text aloud with Peanut.
Peanut turns selected text into natural audio across macOS and Windows, then keeps dictation, snippets, translation, and history close when listening turns into action.
TTS first
Read text aloud before switching into dictation, snippets, or translation.
Desktop-wide
Built for macOS and Windows workflows across the apps you already use.
Get started
Try Peanut free and try read-aloud with selected text.
Review by ear
Catch awkward phrasing, missing context, and dense details by listening instead of scanning.
Reply faster
Switch from TTS to dictation when you are ready to respond without opening another tool.
