## What speakeasy does, in the publisher's words

SpeakEasy gives Codex and ChatGPT Work a controllable voice through a permanent native macOS menu-bar player. It bundles the SpeakEasy CLI runtime and does not require a global SpeakEasy npm installation.

- Generates speech with the zero-configuration macOS system voice or a configured cloud provider.
- Autoplays or queues narration in the signed SpeakEasy menu-bar app.
- Controls pause, resume, stop, skip, scrubbing, volume, and playback speed.
- Shows a word-synced HUD and can return to the originating Codex task when a task identifier is available.
- macOS 14 or newer
- Bun 1.0 or newer

System speech needs no account or API key. Optional OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Groq, and Gemini voices use credentials configured locally by the user.

Narration uses the local macOS voice by default. When a cloud provider is explicitly configured or selected, the requested text is sent directly to that provider. See the privacy policy and terms.
