Hi HN,

I’ve been seeing a lot of great speech-to-text (STT) tools lately, but I found myself wanting the opposite: a dead-simple way to turn text into high-quality audio without leaving my workflow.

I built SuperUtter to be a non-obtrusive macOS utility for reading back short snippets of text.

Key features: * Local-first: It uses the Kokoro model to generate high-quality speech locally on your Mac. No latency, no cost, and works offline. * Cloud option: If you prefer ElevenLabs, you can plug in your API key.

Workflow-focused: Designed for short snippets—emails, code comments, or quick proofreading—rather than long-form articles.

Would love to hear your feedback!
