Practical guide

What this text to speech tool is for

Use your browser’s speech synthesis voices to read text aloud for listening, proofreading or accessibility support.

Best for: Proofreading drafts by ear, listening to short notes and checking how text sounds when spoken.

How it works in practice

Available voices come from the browser or operating system. Voice quality, language choices and pronunciation therefore vary by device, and some browsers download or stream voice resources outside this site.

Example: Paste a paragraph and listen for missing words or awkward phrasing. Names, acronyms and specialist terminology may still be pronounced unexpectedly.

Before you use it

Voice selection varies by browser and operating system.
Pronunciation is not guaranteed for names, abbreviations or uncommon terminology.
Browser speech APIs may not provide a downloadable audio file.

Tips for a better result

Use punctuation to create natural pauses.
Try another installed voice when pronunciation or pacing is poor.
For accessibility-critical publishing, test with actual screen readers as well as text-to-speech.

Privacy note: Core file/text transformations are designed to run in your browser. The page can still load normal website resources and third-party libraries/models. See our Privacy Policy and tool testing notes for details.

Questions about Text to Speech

/ useful answers

Why do I see different voices on another device?

The tool uses voices exposed by the browser/operating system, so the list is device-dependent.

Can it save an MP3?

Browser speech synthesis is primarily designed for playback; downloadable audio is not guaranteed by the API.

Why is a word pronounced incorrectly?

Speech engines infer pronunciation and can struggle with names, acronyms, code or uncommon terminology.
