About this tool
Read any text aloud using the voices already built into your browser and operating system. Pick a voice, adjust speed and pitch, and press Speak; you can pause and stop at any time. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no audio file to download — the speech is produced live on your device. Available voices and their quality differ between Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox and your OS.
How to use it
- Type or paste your text.
- Choose a voice (the list depends on your device).
- Adjust speed and pitch if you like.
- Press Speak; use Pause or Stop to control playback.
Common problems
- The voice list is empty
- Some browsers load voices a moment after the page. Wait a second or reload. On Linux you may need a speech engine installed.
- Wrong language or accent
- Pick a voice whose language matches the text; a mismatched voice reads it with the wrong pronunciation.
- Need an MP3
- This tool speaks live and cannot save audio. Use your device or a screen recorder if you need a recording.
