Text to Speech
Have text read aloud — to proofread, rest your eyes or learn pronunciation — using the voices built into your device and browser.
Result
Type or paste text, then press Read aloud.
How to use this tool
- Paste text and choose a voice.
- Adjust speed and pitch, then select Read aloud. Pause or stop at any time.
How it works
The browser’s Web Speech API speaks the text. Long text is split into sentences so it is not cut off.
Example
Proofreading
Listening to an email at 1.2× speed often reveals missing words and awkward sentences.
Privacy and limitations
- Voices marked “on device” keep your text on this device; “online” voices are processed by your browser maker’s speech service.
- Available voices depend on your device and browser.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download the audio?
Browsers do not provide the audio file; use your device’s sound or screen recorder if you need one.
Why are there different voices on different devices?
Voices come from your operating system and browser.
