How it works
This uses your browser's built-in SpeechSynthesis API — the same engine behind screen readers — to convert text into speech locally on your device. No audio file is created or uploaded; the words are spoken live from your text as it plays.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download the speech as an audio file?
Not from this tool. Browsers don't provide a way to export synthesized speech — it's generated live for playback only.
Why do the voices look different on my device?
Voices come from your operating system, not a server, so the list varies between Windows, Mac, and mobile.
Is there a text length limit?
No hard limit — long text is automatically split into chunks since browsers cut off very long single utterances.
