About the Text to Speech tool
Text to Speech reads your text aloud using your browser's built-in voices — no API key, no cost. Paste an article, study notes, or a script, choose a voice and speaking speed, and press play. It is great for proofreading by ear, learning pronunciation, or listening to content hands-free. The Text to Speech tool works entirely on your device.

Frequently asked questions
Why are there different voices available?
The voices come from your operating system and browser, so the list varies by device.
Can I download the audio?
Browser speech synthesis plays live audio and does not export a file directly.
Does it work offline?
Once the page is loaded, most built-in voices work without an internet connection.
