Text to Speech Reader

Listen to any text read aloud. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your device.

What it does

Paste text, pick one of your device's installed voices, and press speak. Sliders control reading speed and pitch. The voice list comes from your own browser and operating system, so available voices vary by device.

Common uses

Proofreading your writing by ear, accessibility for low-vision readers, or listening to articles hands-free.

Private by design

Speech is synthesized on your device by the browser. Your text is never sent to a server.

Planning estimate only. Results use the list prices shown and may differ from your actual bill. Terms

Frequently asked questions

Which voices are available?

Whatever voices your browser and operating system provide. Chrome on desktop ships with many; mobile devices offer their system voices.

Can I download the audio?

This tool plays speech live and does not produce a downloadable file. It is meant for listening, not production.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The browser synthesizes speech locally on your device.
