Text to Speech Converter
Convert text to voice using your browser — choose voice, rate, and pitch.
Your browser does not support the Web Speech API. Try Chrome, Edge, or Safari.
About Text to Speech
Type or paste any text and have it read aloud by your browser's built-in speech engine. Choose from all available system voices, adjust the speaking rate (0.5× to 2×), and control pitch. Works entirely offline after the page loads — nothing is sent anywhere.
Use Cases
Proofreading by ear, accessibility for visually impaired users, language learning, testing voice UIs, listening to documents while multitasking.
How It Works
Uses the Web Speech API (SpeechSynthesis) built into Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Voices are provided by the operating system — the tool simply passes your text and settings to the browser's native engine.
FAQs
What browsers support text to speech?
Chrome, Edge, and Safari support the Web Speech API fully. Firefox has limited support. The tool shows an error if your browser does not support it.
Can I choose a specific language or accent?
Yes — the voice list shows all voices installed on your device with their language codes. Chrome on Windows typically includes 20+ voices in multiple languages and accents.
Is there a character limit?
No hard limit — but very long texts may be split into chunks by the browser engine internally. For best results with very long documents, paste a few paragraphs at a time.
