What Is Text to Speech?

Text to Speech (TTS) converts written text into spoken audio using speech synthesis technology. This tool uses the Web Speech API built into modern browsers, so no software installation or server connection is needed. The voice, speed, and pitch are all configurable.

Common Use Cases

• Proofreading written content by listening to it read aloud.
• Accessibility — helping users with visual impairments consume text content.
• Language learning — hearing correct pronunciation of words and phrases.
• Multitasking — listening to articles or documents while doing other work.
• Creating quick audio previews of scripts or presentations.

Tips

• Different browsers offer different voices — Chrome typically has the most options.
• Speed 1.0 is normal pace. Try 1.25-1.5 for faster listening.
• Some voices support multiple languages — select a voice matching your text language.
• Long texts may be split into chunks by the browser for smoother playback.
• Mobile devices may have fewer voice options than desktop browsers.

Privacy

All speech synthesis happens locally in your browser using the Web Speech API. Your text is never sent to any server.
