Listen and use accessible reading controls

Choose Edit → Speech → Start Speaking to read the document aloud. Select text first to read only that selection. Pause Speaking, Resume Speaking, and Stop Speaking are in the same menu. Starting speech in another document replaces the current reading.

On macOS 27 or later, Now Playing shows the document title and offers pause/resume controls. Closing the speaking document or changing its profile or language stops the reading.

Choose your voice in System Settings → Accessibility → Read & Speak. Enhanced and Premium voices may need downloading; select the downloaded voice, then stop and restart reading in GlyphGlance. There is no separate in-app voice or speed setting.

GlyphGlance follows macOS Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast, Reduce Transparency, and Differentiate Without Color settings. Use Tab to focus a wide code block, table, or formula, then the arrow keys to scroll it. Task checkboxes report their state but cannot be edited.

Headings, lists, tables, and mathematics are exposed to assistive technologies. Diagram descriptions depend on their author. To make a Mermaid diagram easier to understand, its author can include a title and description, for example:

    accDescr: Open a document in GlyphGlance, read it, then export a copy to share.
