Why listen to text?
When listening, typos and awkward sentences stand out much more than when reading. Text to speech also helps with language learning, dyslexia, or when your eyes need a break.
The tool uses your operating system's or browser's speech engine, so available voices depend on your device. Windows, macOS, Android and iOS let you install more voices in system settings.
Frequently asked questions
Is my text sent to a server?
Usually not. Local voices run on your device. Online voices marked ☁ may send the text to your browser vendor.
Can I download an audio file?
No, the browser's speech engine doesn't allow MP3 export. The text is played directly.
Why are there only a few voices?
The selection comes from your device. You can install more voices in your system's speech or accessibility settings.
