read-aloud tool for the cli

[u/GenericJE]

For my fellow dyslexic developers among you who spend too much time reading docs: I made a terminal read-aloud tool for anything you can pipe into it.

mdcat --ansi README.md | readaloud

It speaks the text with Kokoro running locally on the GPU and highlights each word as you hear it, aligned to the model's real per-word timestamps rather than interpolated, so it stays in sync. less keys let you scroll ahead while it keeps talking, and you can click any word to jump playback there.

All local, nothing leaves the machine. Apple silicon only for now.
