Text to Speech
Type or paste any text and hear it read aloud using the voices built into your browser. Pick a voice, fine-tune speed, pitch and volume, and follow along as each word is highlighted — all locally, nothing uploaded.
What is text to speech (TTS)?
Text to speech turns written words into spoken audio. This tool uses the Web Speech engine that ships with your browser, so it reads aloud instantly using the same natural voices you already have on your device — no server, no waiting, and no account.
How this online voice reader works
Paste or type your text, choose a voice from the list (it's populated from whatever voices your operating system provides), then press Speak. Use the sliders to change speed, pitch and volume on the fly. As it reads, each word is highlighted in the panel below so you can follow along — handy for long passages.
What it's good for
- Reading long content hands-free — articles, documents and notes while you cook, commute or work out.
- Language learning & pronunciation — hear how a phrase sounds in different voices and languages.
- Accessibility — an easy read-aloud aid for dyslexia, low vision or simply tiring eyes.
- Drafting & proofreading — listening to your writing out loud makes awkward phrasing jump out.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free? Yes — no sign-up, no limits, nothing to pay.
Does it upload my text? No. Speech is generated locally by your browser; your words never leave your device.
Can I save the audio as an MP3? This tool plays in real time and doesn't export a file. For a shareable MP3, use a server-side TTS service.
Why do my voices differ from someone else's? The voice list comes from your own device and browser, so it varies by OS, language packs and installed voices.
