Text to Speech
Turn written text into spoken audio using the voices already built into your browser and operating system. Type or paste any text, choose from the available voices, adjust the speaking rate and pitch to taste, and press play to hear it read aloud. This is useful for proofreading by ear, giving your eyes a rest while you absorb an article, or helping with accessibility. Because it uses your device speech engine, the available voices depend on your system, and everything is generated locally with no audio sent to any server. You can pause and resume, and stop at any point. It is a fast, private way to listen instead of read, with no account and no limits on how much text you run through it.
