What people use it for

Six situations where listening beats reading.

Proofreading your writing

Hearing your text read aloud reveals awkward phrasing, missing words, and run-on sentences that are easy to miss when reading silently.

Accessibility and reading support

Convert articles, documents, or web content to speech for users with dyslexia, visual impairments, or reading difficulties.

Language learning

Listen to correct pronunciation of words and sentences in a foreign language by selecting the matching voice and reading along.

Hands-free content consumption

Have emails, notes, or long-form articles read to you while commuting, exercising, or doing other tasks.

Voiceover scripting

Preview how a script sounds before recording a real voiceover, helping you catch timing issues and unnatural phrasing early.

Classroom and education

Teachers can use text-to-speech to read instructions or stories aloud to students, or let students listen to content at their own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about using text-to-speech in your browser.

Yes, completely free. There are no usage limits, no watermarks, and no account required.

No. This tool uses the browser's built-in Web Speech API, which runs entirely on your device. Your text is never sent to any server.

The available voices depend on your operating system and browser. Most modern systems include voices for English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and many more. Chrome and Edge typically offer the widest selection.

Make sure your device volume is turned up and not muted. Some browsers require a user interaction (like clicking a button) before allowing audio playback. If no voices appear in the list, your browser may not support the Web Speech API — try Chrome or Edge.

The Web Speech API does not expose an audio stream for download in most browsers. For downloadable audio files, you would need a server-side TTS service. This tool focuses on instant in-browser playback.

The tool itself does not impose a limit, but very long texts may be split into chunks by the browser's speech engine. For best results, paste a few paragraphs at a time.

Use the Rate slider. A value of 1.0 is normal speed. Values below 1.0 slow the speech down; values above 1.0 speed it up. Most browsers support a range of 0.1 to 10.

Yes. The Web Speech API is supported on iOS Safari and Android Chrome. Voice availability varies by device, but basic playback works on all modern smartphones.
