LocalVoice

Speak any text using a voice from your region..

In this example I'm using "Tessa", familiar to South Africans as the original recorded voice of Telkom.

The voice of Tessa needs to be downloaded from Apple. It's big: 500mb or so..

   Apple Menu 

 System Preferences 

Wait for it to download...

Now open TextEdit

(⌘ spacebar, type texted, hit enter)

Type something.. anything or copy and paste..

 Highlight the text 

Right (or ctrl) click

 Speech ▶ Start Speaking
