## What Voice Out does

{% hint style="success" %}

1. **Reads pages aloud.** Voice Out finds the main text on a page and reads it.
2. **Reads many formats.** Voice Out reads webpages, emails, Google Docs, PDFs, and ebooks in online readers such as Google Play Books and Libby. Voice Out reads text that it can find on the page. It cannot read text in images.
3. **Many voices and languages.** Use your browser's voices free of charge, or upgrade to Premium for more than 100 natural-sounding voices in more than 60 languages.
4. **Controls for your listening.** Set the speed from 0.3x to 3x, and set the pitch and volume.
5. **Text highlighting.** The Voice Out pop-up highlights the text that Voice Out reads.
6. **Custom voices.** Use voices from your own OpenAI, Google, Amazon, IBM, Nvidia, or Microsoft Azure account.
7. **Accessibility.** Voice Out helps persons with dyslexia, persons with visual impairments, and persons who learn better when they listen.
8. **Keyboard shortcuts.** Push `Alt + P` (`Option + P` on Mac) to start or pause the reading.
