Deckle · Feature Guide
Read a screenshot aloud
Drop an image, paste one, or select a region of the screen. Deckle recognizes the words on this Mac and reads them.
What you are paying for
Deckle is sold as a one-time purchase. The paid wedge is one place for pasted text, a screenshot, or a link, then listen or save audio. There is no account.
In the direct edition, Read live can also keep watching the region you dragged and speak new words aloud as they change on screen.
What is already free
macOS Speak Selection reads text you can highlight. Outloud and SpeechDock are free when the words are already selected in another app. A screenshot still needs something that can see the picture. That recognition stays on this Mac.
Network
Reading a screenshot does not need the network. Fetching a link does, because the page has to be downloaded first. Speech after that is local.
