Read it aloud.
With your own voices.
Turn any text into speech using the voices built into your device — no upload, no account, and it works offline once the page is open.
How do I hear my text? Paste or type your text, pick one of your device's voices, and press Speak. Adjust the speed and pitch if you like, and follow along word by word as it reads — nothing is uploaded.
Text to speech reader
Reading uses your device's built-in voices — quality and language availability depend on your operating system. There is no download option: browser speech plays through your speakers and cannot be captured as an audio file. Nothing you paste is uploaded or saved.
How to read text aloud
- Paste your text — an article, study notes, an email draft, or any document you can copy.
- Pick a voice — your device's voices are listed with their languages; macOS and iOS offer particularly natural ones.
- Press Speak — adjust speed and pitch live, pause any time, and follow the highlighted words.
What this tool is good for
- Proofreading by ear — hearing your own writing catches clumsy sentences that silent reading misses.
- Accessibility — listen to long documents without special software.
- Multitasking — hear an article while doing something else.
- Language practice — slow the speed to 0.7× to hear pronunciation clearly.
Good to know
Everything runs on your device: the text never leaves the browser, and after the page loads it works without a connection. Very long text is read sentence by sentence, so nothing gets cut off. If a voice sounds robotic, that is the voice your operating system provides — installing better system voices (in your OS settings) improves every site that uses them, including this one.

Can I download the audio as an MP3?
No — browser speech plays through your device's voices and cannot be captured as a file. This tool is for listening: proofreading, accessibility, and multitasking. For downloadable audio you need a server-based text-to-speech service.
Which voices are available?
Your device's own voices. macOS and iOS ship high-quality voices (Samantha, Daniel, and more), Windows includes Microsoft voices, and Android varies by device. Nothing is uploaded — the voices run locally.
Is there a length limit?
No hard limit: long text is read sentence by sentence so it never gets cut off. Very long documents (an hour of audio or more) are easier to handle in parts.
