What is Text to Speech?

Text to Speech (TTS) is a technology that converts written text into spoken audio. Using speech synthesis, computers can read text aloud in natural-sounding voices.

This tool uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API, which means the text is converted to speech locally on your device without sending any data to external servers.

How to Use This Tool

Converting text to speech is simple:

Type or paste your text in the input area
Select a voice from the dropdown (voices depend on your browser/OS)
Adjust speed, pitch, and volume to your preference
Click the play button to hear your text read aloud

Common Use Cases

Text to speech technology has many practical applications:

Accessibility - Helping visually impaired users consume written content
Language Learning - Hearing correct pronunciation of words and phrases
Proofreading - Listening to your writing to catch errors
Multitasking - Listening to articles or documents while doing other tasks
Content Creation - Creating audio versions of written content

Understanding Voice Options

Customize how the text is read aloud:

Speed (Rate): Controls how fast the text is spoken. Normal speed is 1.0x. Lower values slow down, higher values speed up.
Pitch: Controls how high or low the voice sounds. Normal is 1.0. Lower values make the voice deeper, higher values make it higher.
Volume: Controls the loudness of the audio output from 0% (silent) to 100% (full volume).

Browser Support

The Web Speech API is supported in most modern browsers:

Chrome - Full support with many built-in voices

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this text to speech tool really free?

Yes, completely free with no limits. The tool uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis, which is a native web API that requires no external services or costs.

Why do I see different voices on different devices?

The available voices depend on your operating system and browser. Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android each provide different voice options. Chrome may also add additional cloud-based voices.

Can I download the audio as a file?

The Web Speech API doesn't support direct audio file export. For downloadable audio, you would need a server-side TTS service. However, you can use screen recording software to capture the audio output.

Is my text sent to any server?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser. Your text is processed using your device's speech synthesis engine and never leaves your device.

Why does the speech stop mid-sentence sometimes?

Some browsers have limitations on continuous speech length. For very long texts, the speech may pause or stop. Try breaking long texts into smaller sections for best results.
