To get Mac to speak text, you need to use the macOS built–in Text to Speech feature. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Go to “Accessibility” and select “Speech” from the left side menu.
3. Check the box next to “Speak selected text when the key is pressed.”
4. Choose your preferred voice.
5. Select the key combination you want to use to trigger the speaking of selected text.
Now, whenever you select text and press that key combination, your Mac will read it back to you.
