Before you start
A little more peace of mind.
Will it run on my Mac?
You need an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) with macOS 15+ and 8 GB of memory; 16 GB is smoother with both the Vietnamese and the English voice. Intel Macs are not supported. Open the .dmg, drag the app to Applications, then set up a voice in the app. Read the install guide.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once a model is downloaded, VieNeu and Kokoro run entirely on your Mac. You only need a connection to get the app and prepare a voice the first time.
What about outside AI voices?
OpenAI and ElevenLabs are optional paid providers, enabled only when you add your own key. The passage being read goes directly to that provider. With local voices, your content stays on your Mac.
Does it watch my screen?
No. ReadEase only copies selected text when you press the shortcut, with macOS Accessibility permission. It doesn't monitor your screen or provide OCR for scanned pages.
