    Pay once, $39.99, no subscription. Rare for a voice app and I like it. The sample on the homepage highlights each word as it's read, so the read-along idea lands in two seconds. Keeping it all on the Mac is a real plus for parents and authors. What if there was a browser demo where I paste one paragraph and hear it, for people who aren't on a Mac yet?
