// TEXT TO SPEECH · ABOUT THIS TOOL

About the Text to Speech

This free text to speech tool reads your text aloud right in your browser, so you can catch mistakes your eyes skip over or listen to long passages hands-free.

Pick any voice on your device, adjust the rate and pitch, and pause or resume anytime. Because speech is generated on your own device, nothing you paste is ever uploaded.

Where it helps most

Listening that makes your work better.

Proofreading drafts

Hear your writing read aloud to catch doubled words, missing articles, and clumsy sentences your eyes skip.

Studying notes

Slow the voice down and work through study notes and scripts section by section at your pace.

Skimming articles

Speed playback up to double speed to get through long articles in much less time.

Listening and accessibility

Listen to any text read aloud, a simple way to consume content hands-free or eyes-free.

Getting the best results

Controls worth knowing before you press play.

Slow down to proofread

Drop the rate toward half speed for careful proofreading or language study, where every word matters.

Speed up to skim

Push toward double speed when skimming long articles you want to get through quickly.

Pick the right voice

The voice list shows exactly what your device offers, from Google voices in Chrome to system voices in Safari.

Know the limit

The browser engine plays audio live and cannot export an MP3, so this is a listening tool, not an audiobook producer.

Text to Speech: private by design

Speech is synthesized on your own device, so the text you paste is never uploaded to any server.

Text to Speech FAQs

The voices come from your own browser and operating system, not from any server. Chrome usually includes several Google voices, Edge offers Microsoft voices, and Safari uses the system voices from macOS or iOS. The voice list on the page shows exactly what your device offers.

Speech to Text

Typing is the bottleneck in most writing: people speak at 130 to 150 words per minute and type at a fraction of that. Click the microphone, grant permission once, and start speaking; your words appear as text in real time.

Open tool →Word Counter

Word limits are unforgiving: an essay marked down for running 12 percent over, an application that refuses to submit past the cap. This counter shows your live word count and five more figures with every keystroke.

Open tool →Character Counter

Every platform enforces a limit, and every limit is measured in characters. Guessing whether you fit is how text gets cut off mid-sentence in public. Type or paste, watch the numbers update with every keystroke, and remove the guesswork.

Open tool →Case Converter

A spreadsheet column in ALL CAPS. A headline in all lowercase. A label that must become a variable name before the next commit. Each is a thirty-second fix with a case converter, and a tedious manual rewrite without one.
