How it Works

This tool uses the browser's built-in SpeechSynthesis API to directly access your operating system's (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) voice synthesis engine. This means you can hear high-quality natural voices without installing any plugins.

Since different devices have different systems, the list of available voices will vary. For example, macOS users might see "Samantha" or "Alex", while Windows users might see "Microsoft David".

Use Cases

📚 Audio Reading

Paste novels, news, or articles here and let your ears do the "reading" while you relax.

Listening to your own writing helps identify awkward sentences or typos you might miss visually.

FAQ

Why is there no sound?

Please check: 1. Your device volume; 2. Browser tab audio permission; 3. Try another voice; 4. Ensure the voice language matches the text language.

Can I export as MP3?

The Web Speech API currently only supports real-time playback. To save the audio, we recommend using our Online Screen/Audio Recorder (select "System Audio") to record it.

Does it stop on long text?

Some browsers (like Chrome) limit single utterance duration to ~15 seconds. This tool automatically splits long text into shorter sentences to ensure continuous playback.

Voice sounds robotic? How to get more?

The voice list is determined entirely by your operating system and browser.

How to get more voices?

Windows: Go to "Settings" > "Time & Language" > "Speech" > "Manage voices", click "Add voices" to download more language packs.
macOS: Go to "System Settings" > "Accessibility" > "Spoken Content" > "System Voice", and download higher quality Siri voices.
Browser: We recommend using Microsoft Edge, which often comes with high-quality online voices built-in.

Is it completely free?

Yes, this tool is 100% free with no usage limits.

Does it translate text?

No, this tool only reads the text you input. It does not translate. Ensure your voice selection matches the text language.

How to adjust Speed/Pitch?

Use the sliders in the control panel to adjust Speed (Rate) and Tone (Pitch). Changes take effect on the next sentence.

Is it private?

Absolutely. This tool runs locally in your browser. We do not upload your text to any server.
