Eloquence TTS Voices on iPhone and Mac: Unlock Speed Reading

Eloquence text-to-speech (TTS) voices have a distinctive reputation—you either love them or hate them. Unlike most TTS voices that aim for natural, human-like speech, Eloquence voices embrace a robotic style with a clear purpose: delivering unmatched clarity at high reading speeds. If you rely on TTS technology for speed reading or accessibility, Eloquence voices could be your ultimate tool.

Why Choose Eloquence Voices for Speed Reading?

High-speed reading demands clarity, not natural rhythm. While natural-sounding voices shine at regular speeds, they often falter when pushed to 3x speed or higher. This is where Eloquence voices excel. Designed for rapid delivery, they maintain clarity even at speeds where natural voices may sound muddled or artificial.

Eloquence TTS on iPhone and Mac

With the release of iOS 16 and macOS 13, Eloquence voices are now included by default on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No additional setup is required—they’re ready to use as part of Apple’s built-in accessibility features, including VoiceOver.

Enhancing Your Experience with Speech Central

While Apple’s accessibility tools support Eloquence voices, specialized apps like Speech Central offer a superior experience for speed reading and consuming long-form content such as books and articles. Speech Central includes features specifically designed for high-speed reading:

  • Seamless Voice Integration: Eloquence voices are available out of the box for VoiceOver users. Non-VoiceOver users can enable them by unchecking the “Exclude Robots” option in the voice picker dialog.
  • Advanced Speed Control: Fine-tune reading speeds to suit your preferences without losing clarity.
  • Multitasking Support: Listen to content while working or relaxing, making multitasking more efficient.
