Speech Commands Module 1 provides speech control for various actions, including task selection, speaking, setting priorities and status, sorting, and other actions. The speech control uses the macOS Speakable Items system (in System Preferences / Accessibility). See Speech Commands. Speech Commands Module 1 is an In App Purchase. To purchase the Speech Commands module, choose Purchase Additional Features in the File menu.

Copy as Speakable Text puts a copy of the selected tasks on the Clipboard formatted for the Text to Speech capability of macOS, including pauses between tasks for better comprehension.

This adds a track to iTunes with the spoken text. Within iTunes, the various tags such as Artist, Album, Genre, etc. can be set for the spoken text track in the Get Info view. These tracks can be synced to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad for listening while away from your desktop computer.

Changing these task attributes this way only takes two clicks.
• The Sort menu is now one of the main menus in the menu bar. It used to be a submenu in the View menu. This provides much faster and easier mouse or trackpad access to the many sort combinations.
