About this tool
This uses the Web Speech API's speech synthesis built into your browser and operating system — the available voices, their quality, and language coverage all depend on what's installed on your device, not on this page, which is why the voice list may look different on a phone, a Mac, or a Windows PC. If no voices are listed, your browser either hasn't loaded them yet or doesn't support speech synthesis.
Nothing you type here is sent to a server — the text is read entirely by your device's own speech engine.
Questions about text to speech
Why are the voices different on my phone and computer?
The voices come from your device’s operating system, so Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone each have their own.
Can I download the speech as an MP3?
No. Browsers speak the text directly and don’t give access to the audio.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes, if your device has voices for that language. Pick one from the list.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. It’s read by your device’s own speech engine.
