What is SayTXT?
SayTXT is a text-to-speech reader for Mac that helps users listen to written content instead of reading it on screen. It is designed for people who want spoken playback for articles, study materials, documents, ebooks, and saved text during work, commuting, or accessibility-focused use. The app can read PDFs, EPUB books, DOCX documents, TXT files, web pages, and pasted text, giving users one place to turn common reading formats into speech. It also includes a built-in browser for reading web content aloud and a focused reading view with synchronized highlighting while audio plays. SayTXT supports automatic language detection and multilingual voice playback, which is useful for mixed-language material and general reading workflows on macOS.
Key features
- Read PDFs, EPUB books, DOCX documents, TXT files, and pasted text aloud

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
SayTXT’s main function is reading text content aloud, so access to files you open and optional access to shared text or imported images is consistent with its purpose. If you use scan or image-based reading features, the app may also need access to photos or camera-related input on supported platforms. The main privacy consideration is the sensitivity of the documents or web pages you choose to load into the app. Use ordinary care with confidential material, and review app permissions if you no longer want it to access imported content.
Recommendation: Keep SayTXT if you use text-to-speech for documents, ebooks, articles, or accessibility support on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is reasonable and will mainly affect your ability to reopen its reading workflow and any app-specific saved settings.
