How to Convert Text to Speech Online
This text to speech tool uses the Web Speech API, which is built into Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. No data is sent to any server — all voice synthesis happens locally on your device.
Choosing the Right Voice
Available voices depend on your operating system and browser. Chrome on Windows and macOS typically provides 20-50 voices including multiple languages and accents. Install additional languages in your OS settings to get more voice options.
Speed and Pitch Controls
Speed (rate) controls how fast the text is read. A rate of 1.0 is normal speaking speed; 0.5 is slow for careful listening; 1.5-2.0 is fast for reviewing content quickly. Pitch adjusts how high or low the voice sounds — 1.0 is the voice's natural pitch.
FAQ
How does this text to speech tool work?
It uses the Web Speech API built into modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox). Your text is synthesized into speech locally — nothing is sent to a server.
What voices are available?
Available voices depend on your operating system and browser. Chrome on Windows and Mac typically offers 20-50+ voices. Mobile browsers also have voices. The tool lists all voices available on your device.
Is there a text length limit?
The Web Speech API has browser-specific limits. For best results, keep text under 500 words. For very long texts, you can process it in sections.
Can I download the audio?
The Web Speech API does not provide audio file download. The speech plays directly through your speakers. For downloadable audio, a dedicated TTS service would be needed.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free. It uses only built-in browser capabilities — no API keys or subscriptions required.
