Free Online Text to Speech

Paste any text and hear it read aloud — articles, essays, study notes, scripts or emails. Choose from the voices installed on your device.

Speech is produced by your browser's built-in speech synthesis, so available voices and languages depend on your device. Great for proofreading, accessibility and language practice.

Multiple voices and speeds

Pick a voice, then fine-tune rate and pitch. Slow it down for language study or speed it up to skim long text.

Full playback control

Pause, resume and stop at any time. Long passages are easy to navigate with one-click controls.

Proofread by ear

Hearing your writing read aloud catches typos and awkward phrasing your eyes skip. Paste a draft and listen before you publish.

How to use

  1. Paste or type your text into the box.
  2. Choose a voice from the list.
  3. Adjust speed and pitch if you like.
  4. Click Speak and listen — pause or stop anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which voices are available?

Voices come from your operating system and browser — Windows, macOS, Android and iOS each ship their own sets, in many languages.

Is there a character limit?

Very long texts are split into chunks automatically. For best results, read long documents section by section.

Can I download the audio?

This tool plays speech live through your browser and doesn't export audio files. Use your system's audio recorder if you need a file.

Does it work offline?

Some built-in voices work offline; others are provided by the OS vendor. If no voices appear, check your connection and reload.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. All speech synthesis uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API. Your text never leaves your device. Processing is 100% local.
The number of voices depends on your browser and operating system. Most modern browsers offer 50+ voices across 20+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and more.
Yes. Use the Speed slider (0.25x to 3x) to control how fast the text is read, and the Pitch slider (0 to 2) to make the voice higher or lower.
Voice quality depends on your operating system's speech engine. Windows uses Microsoft voices, macOS uses Apple voices, and Android/Chrome uses Google voices. Some sound more natural than others.
The Web Speech API does not support direct audio file export. For downloadable audio, consider using dedicated TTS services. This tool is designed for instant playback.
There is no hard limit, but very long texts (over 10,000 characters) may experience pauses between chunks due to browser limitations.
Partially. Some voices are available offline if your OS has them installed. Others require an internet connection to download voice data.
