Text & Writing
Text to Speech Reader
The Text to Speech Reader uses your browser's built-in speech engine to read any text out loud, letting you proofread by ear or just listen instead of read.
Choose from the voices installed on your device, and adjust the reading speed and pitch to suit you -- all handled locally by your browser.
How to Use the Text to Speech Reader
- Open the Text to Speech Reader.
- Type or paste the text you want read aloud.
- Pick a voice, and adjust the rate and pitch sliders if you like.
- Click Play to listen, and use Pause or Stop at any time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which voices are available?
The tool lists whichever voices are installed on your device and browser -- this varies by operating system and browser.
Does this work offline?
Many browsers include offline voices, but some rely on an online voice service -- availability depends on your device.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Reading is handled by your browser's built-in speech synthesis API -- Toolkit Pro does not upload your text anywhere.
