Text to Speech
Read any text aloud using your browser's built-in voices. Free, private - nothing is uploaded.
Paste any text and have it read aloud using your browser's built-in speech synthesis voices, with control over voice, speed, and pitch. Runs entirely through the Web Speech API, so nothing is uploaded to a server and there's no per-use limit or account needed. Useful for proofreading a document by ear, previewing how a voice assistant script sounds, or making written content more accessible.

Common questions
Which voices are available?
The voices installed on your operating system and browser, via the Web Speech API - this varies by device and OS.
Is there a text length limit?
No hard limit is enforced, but very long text may need to be read in chunks depending on your browser's speech engine.
Does it upload my text?
No - speech synthesis runs locally via your browser.
Can I adjust reading speed?
Yes - speed and pitch sliders let you slow down for note-taking or speed up for a quick proofread.
