Free Text to Speech

Type any text and listen to it read aloud — pick a voice, speed and pitch.

Free tool — voices come from your device and browser, so the available voices depend on them. Nothing is sent anywhere.

← All Free Tools

Sometimes it is easier to listen than to read — on a drive, while cooking, when your eyes are tired, or when you are learning a language and want to hear how words sound. This free text to speech tool reads any text aloud in your browser, using the voices already built into your device. Paste an article, a story, a lesson or your own writing, pick a voice, set the speed and pitch, and press play. It is useful for students revising notes, language learners hearing pronunciation, writers proofreading by ear — mistakes you miss on screen often jump out when spoken — and anyone who prefers listening to reading. There is no sign-up, nothing to install, and your text never leaves your device.

How to use the Text to Speech

  1. Paste or type the text you want to hear into the box.
  2. Pick a voice, then set the speed and pitch to your liking.
  3. Press play to listen, and pause or stop whenever you want.

Why use this tool

Frequently asked questions

Which voices are available?

The tool uses the voices built into your phone or computer, so the list depends on your device and browser. Most devices include several English voices, and many include other languages too.

Can I change the speed?

Yes. Move the speed slider to hear the text slower for learning, or faster when you want to get through a long article quickly.

Is there a limit on how much text I can listen to?

There is no strict limit, but very long texts are best split into sections, because browsers handle shorter pieces more reliably.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The speech is generated on your device by your browser, so your text never leaves your phone or computer.
