Text to Speech (TTS)
Paste any text and listen to it read aloud: pick a voice and adjust the speed and pitch. Everything happens right in your browser.
The available voices depend on your device and browser: on another phone or computer you may find different (or better) ones.
What a read-aloud tool is good for
Text to speech comes in handy in lots of everyday situations: listening to an article or your notes while you cook or walk, proofreading "with your ears" to catch typos and clunky sentences in something you wrote, supporting people with dyslexia or eye strain, or hearing how a passage sounds when spoken. This tool uses the speech synthesis built right into your browser (the Web Speech API), so there is nothing to install and no account to create.
Why the voices differ from device to device
Your browser doesn't download voices from the internet — it uses the ones installed in your operating system. That's why the list of voices is different on Windows, macOS, Android, and iPhone, and the same sentence can sound more or less natural. If the list seems short, check your system's accessibility or speech settings: you can often download additional, higher-quality voices for free.
