Orate is read-it-later for your ears. Highlight text in any app, press ⌥⌘L, and it goes into a queue that reads aloud in a neural voice while you do something else. The synthesis runs on-device, which is the part that matters: a contract, a half-finished draft, a private email — none of it is uploaded to be spoken back to you. $4.99 once, not a subscription.
