Read text aloud with your device's voices, with speed, pitch and the sentence marked
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 24 Oct 2026.Text to speech turns written text into spoken words. Paste up to 100,000 characters here and press Read aloud; your browser's own voices read it sentence by sentence, marking the sentence being read, at 0.5x to 2x speed. Free, no account, and this page uploads nothing.
Paste or type your text into the box, or press Try an example.
Check the Language and Voice; the language is set from your text when it can be told.
Set Speed and Pitch if you want a slower or faster voice.
Press Read aloud; the sentence being read is marked and Pause keeps your place.
Press Stop to edit the text, then Read aloud again.
Every modern browser has a speech engine built in, the Web Speech API, which uses the voices installed on your phone or computer. This page splits your text into sentences, hands them to that engine one at a time and marks each sentence as it is spoken. Pause keeps your place; Stop goes back to the start so you can edit.
No, and no honest browser page can offer it with these voices. Browsers play them straight to the speakers and give web pages no way to record the sound. Sites that do offer a download send your text to a speech server. This page never does that, so there is no download button.
The voices your device already has. Windows, macOS, iOS and Android each include several, often in dozens of languages; more can be added in the system's language or accessibility settings. Chrome and Edge also list online voices from Google or Microsoft. Those are marked online, because they send the text to that company's servers; the others stay on your device.
Chrome cuts off a single utterance after about 15 seconds with some voices. Reading one sentence at a time, and splitting very long sentences at a comma, keeps every piece short, so a long article is read to the end.
Listening to a draft is a good way to find sentences that run on. Check them with the Readability Score Calculator, or count words and speaking time with the Word Counter.
Yes. Text to Speech is free with no account and no limit on how often you use it. Each reading can be up to 100,000 characters, about 16,000 words or 100 minutes of speech at normal speed. The voices are the ones your device already has, so nothing extra is installed.
No. Browsers play their built-in voices straight to the speakers and give web pages no way to record them. A site offering a download has to send your text to a speech server and make the audio there. This page keeps your text in your browser, so it reads aloud but cannot save a file.
Voices come from your operating system and browser, not from this site. Windows, macOS, Android and iOS can each add voices for dozens of languages in their language or accessibility settings. After adding one, reload the page and it appears in the Voice list for that language.
Not by this page. On-device voices read the text without any network request. Chrome and Edge also offer online voices from Google and Microsoft, which send the text to those companies to be spoken; the Voice list marks them online, and an on-device voice is chosen first when one exists.
Move the Speed slider between 0.5x and 2x; 1x is the voice's normal pace, about 160 words a minute. Pitch makes the voice higher or lower without changing speed. A change takes effect straight away, from the start of the sentence being read, and both settings are remembered for your next visit.
