Free to use · speech is generated on your device, nothing is uploaded
Uses the high-quality voices already built into your device and browser — English (US, UK, AU and more), Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic and many others. Pick any voice from the list and preview it instantly.
Slow the voice down to study pronunciation, or speed it up to 2× to get through an article quickly. Pitch and volume are adjustable too, and playback can be paused and resumed at any point.
The text lights up as it's spoken, so you can follow along — great for proofreading your own writing by ear, practicing a language, or helping kids connect written and spoken words.
Your text never leaves your device — the speech is generated locally by your browser's own speech engine. Nothing is uploaded to our servers or anyone else's.
Proofread emails and essays by listening (your ear catches errors your eye skips), rest your eyes with long articles, check how your writing flows, support dyslexic and low-vision readers, or hear how a foreign-language phrase should sound.
Try our Speech to Text tool to dictate with your voice and get editable text back — including AI clean-up that adds punctuation and paragraphs for you.
