About text to speech
Text to speech (TTS) reads any text aloud in a natural voice using your browser built-in speech engine. Paste or type text, pick a voice and language, adjust the speed and pitch, and press play. It is useful for proofreading by ear, accessibility, learning pronunciation and listening to articles hands-free. Everything runs in your browser — no account and no uploads.
How Text to Speech works
How to convert text to speech
- Type or paste your text into the box.
- Choose a voice and language, then set the speed and pitch.
- Press Play to hear it; pause or stop any time.
Voices and languages
The available voices come from your device and browser, so the list differs between Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. Many languages and accents are supported; install extra system voices to get more options.
Great for proofreading and accessibility
Hearing your writing read back makes typos and awkward sentences obvious. TTS also helps people who prefer or need to listen rather than read, and is handy for learning how words are pronounced.
