How Does This Tool Work?
This tool uses the Web Speech API built into modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox). No audio is generated on our servers — all speech synthesis happens locally on your device.
Common Uses for Text to Speech
- Proofreading — hearing your text helps catch errors you miss visually
- Accessibility — listening to content instead of reading
- Language learning — hear correct pronunciation
- Creating quick audio previews for content
Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't I see many voice options?
Available voices depend on your operating system and browser. Chrome on Windows typically offers the most voices. You can install additional language packs in your OS settings.
Can I download the audio?
The Web Speech API does not support audio file export directly. For downloadable audio, consider Google Cloud Text-to-Speech or Amazon Polly.
