Read long contracts and legal documents aloud
Scroll reads contracts, filings, and regulations aloud on your Mac and surfaces what matters. Skim and it flags obligations, dates, and risk language; stop on a clause and it reads the exact wording; ask a spoken follow-up about the section on screen — without copying confidential text into a chat window.
For lawyers, compliance teams, and anyone who reads dense agreements, it keeps the document where it belongs: on your machine.
How Scroll works for legal reading
Scan for risk as you read
Toggle Look and move through the contract. Scroll explains each section and calls out obligations, deadlines, liability, and unusual terms as you reach them.
Ask about a clause out loud
Ask “what are the termination rights here?” or “who indemnifies whom?” about the clause on screen, and keep asking follow-ups until you close the conversation.
Hear the exact clause text
When wording matters, Read Aloud speaks the precise clause verbatim rather than a summary, so you hear the agreement as written.
Built for confidential material
- Reads PDF contracts, Pages documents, and web-based filings in Safari and Chrome.
- Redaction before egress scrubs emails, card numbers, and secrets before any text leaves the machine in cloud mode.
- An exclusion list lets you name apps Scroll will refuse to read, so privileged tools stay untouched.
- Local-only mode keeps privileged or confidential documents entirely on your Mac, with no OpenAI key required.
- One-time $49 purchase with a 14-day refund policy; payments handled by Polar as merchant of record.
Questions, answered
Is it safe to use Scroll on confidential contracts?
Yes. Text is extracted on-device, and in local-only mode nothing leaves your Mac at all. In cloud mode, emails, card numbers, and secrets are redacted before egress, and you can exclude specific apps from being read entirely.
Can Scroll read the exact clause wording?
Yes. Read Aloud (Right ⇧) speaks the precise body text verbatim rather than paraphrasing, so when the exact language of a clause matters, you hear the agreement as written instead of a summary.
Does it work with PDFs and Pages documents?
Scroll reads PDF contracts, Pages documents, and web-based filings in Safari and Chrome. It reads whatever is visible on screen, so you don't need to convert or upload the file to a separate service.
Can I stop sensitive documents from leaving my Mac?
Yes. Turn on local-only mode and comprehension and speech both run on-device — no document or screen content is sent to the cloud. You can also keep an exclusion list of apps Scroll refuses to read.
